Antique Black Forest Letter Holder Swallow Brienz, Switzerland 1912 Provenance








Antique Black Forest Letter Holder Swallow Brienz, Switzerland 1912 Provenance

This item and a lot of the following Black Forest carved items are "new/old" stock from the famous Black Forest carving emporium "Jobin" in Brienz, Switzerland. I was fortunate enough to be allowed into their archives and privileged to purchase some of their antique stock that had never been circulated.

This auction is for this antique letter holder that comes from the unsold antique stock of Jobin in Brienz, Switzerland. It is hand carved and in the shape of a letter and decorated with an antique hand carved swallow with glass eyes. The swallow's colors are black, beige and red with a beautiful patina. It has a tag telling us that it was carved by "Michel Moser" in Brienz, 1912. The stock number is 6340. The letter holder with the swallow measures 6 and 3/4" high, 5.25" wide, and 1.5" deep. (RL)
