Fabulous & RARE antique Victorian era Black Forest hand carved 8 3/4\" tall epergne stand or candle holder pair with delightful rabbit or hare figures, ornate foliate accenting and wonderful visual & decorative appeal! Of the Black Forest figures, we collectors know that some are more rare than others and, hence, more valuable in a simple investment terms. Of those, the cow, fox, hunting dog and rabbit or hare rank right up there. This lovely pair beautifully carved, the bases from one piece and attached to the figural & foliate tops (also carved from one solid block of wood). The hares with wonderful detail & visual appeal and guaranteed to please!If you\'ve followed us for a while you know I\'m a big fan of the old hand carved \"Black Forest\" items that come to us from 19th century Switzerland, Germany, parts of France and Italy, where they pleased the Grand Tour tourists and still please us all today. These hand carved treasures range from whimsical small bears to large and elaborate mantel clocks, wall clocks, wall plaques showing the most awesome anatomical studies of stag, fowl, \"fruits of the hunt\". I\'ve got more to list so look through the vast collection. I\'ve just used quite a few piece in our own 2nd home decoration , Rocky Mountains location, and love the look as well as the heritage since my own ancestors hail from that region and others. The pieces work well in Country Manor, French Country, Ski Lodge or Hunt Lodge and even in a den or office. Everything from a pocket watch case to huge plaques - from needle and thread holders to cigar caddy - these decorative objects survive today a testament to the artisan\'s craft of carving wood.

This set is truly fabulous, condition and carving. One figure has both tips of its ears chipped off and the other with only a small portion of one ear. Both have chips to the very top of the leaf tip (center top) with one having a larger chip. Small leaf tip nips here and there but both in overall wonderful shape. There is also some old worm/bug holes in one stand but nothing active. The stands are large enough to make over into a pair of lamps, by the way. We\'ve done this in one of our homes with a pair of similar size and everyone loves the look. Or use them for candles - they\'re ready to go for that use. Each is entirely hand carved from a single piece of wood. Amazing craftsmanship evident throughout. Bases are 6.5\" x 6\" oval and they each stand 8.5\" to 8 3/4\" tall.Very good condition as noted above. You are buying 2 - a matching original pair. C. 1880-1900
