I made a trip to our warehouse this week and came home with 2 crates of wonderful antiques I'd forgotten we even owned. This does happen. This one is a 19th century carved Black Forest hunt theme plaque mounted into a wall hanging towel rack. It's charming as can be, dates c.1880-1910 or so, shows a hunting hound and grouse, several bunnies set into a cutaway forest scene. That plaque is in a walnut looking stain, lighter in color than the background frame into which is was built, making it a thrilling contrast we don't usually see in Black Forest carvings. Good sized, ready to hang and accent your kitchen or bath. I suppose it's long enough to display a quilt, folded and hung over the 16.25" long round bar. Full measurements noted on photos.
Very good to excellent condition for age and type. I find no breaks in the intricate openwork plaque, and same for the outer frame. No breaks, not even a chip to point out.
