Antique Black Forest Casket withCarved Pheasants-Elegant Guy Gift
This is a stunning Black Forest Casket with a pair of carved pheasants on the top. The carving and entire casket appear to be made of walnut and are a dark brown color as the photos show. The lid opens up to a pair of small compartments which are hinged and swing out to give access to a larger lower compartment. All of the compartments are lined with what appears to be blue colored silk. The bottom linings are French Knot, Tuck and Tufted, and appear to be original and in very good condition considering their age. On the sides and front are additional panels with carved flowers and leaves. The casket has a hinged flap with the lock post and it fits tightly into the lock which has a working key. The key is not original to the casket but from the same time period. The casket measures about 10.5 inches from the bottom of the carved feet at the base to the top of the male pheasant’s head. The larger bottom section is 7.5 inches long by 3.5 inches wide around outside of the the rim. The casket weighs just over 2 pounds. Black Forest Caskets are personal favorites and we have had a number of them over the years. This one would rank as one of the very finest, both in design and in its condition. These boxes and carvings are so fragile that it is very unusual to ever find one in such great condition. We noted a tiny drying crack in the rooster’s neck, a tiny chip out of the back left side of its crest feather, and possibly some tips broken on the foliage behind the birds. We offer this as a wonderful addition to any Black Forest Collection or as a simply elegant gift to a very deserving person.
