WHIMSICAL BLACK FOREST DESK ACCESSORY WITH HAND-CARVED RABBIT, TREE PEN REST, AND HAT-LIDDED GLASS INKWELLS.
From our Black Forest collection, we are delighted to present this unusual and charming carved walnut inkwell and pen tray dating to the turn of the 20th century, circa 1900.
The humorous design features a finely hand-carved standing rabbit, depicted upright in a blazer with its arms folded, leaning against a tree trunk. The tree branches stretch outward to form a natural pen rest. Flanking the figure are two removable glass inkwells, each surmounted by hand-carved wooden hunting hats with feather detail, serving as lids.
The base is shaped as a rocky outcrop with detailed carving that highlights the rustic character associated with traditional Black Forest work. This piece would have served as both a functional desk accessory and a decorative conversation piece, embodying the wit and originality found in late 19th to early 20th-century Black Forest carvings.
A superb example for collectors of Black Forest objects, writing accessories, or whimsical animal carvings.

The Black Forest Anvil stands upon a wooden tree trunk base realistically carved with wood knots. Beside the anvil sits an ebonised decorative carved hammer and a pair of pliers that have a cigar cutter built in between them. When the cigar is placed and cut using the pliers, the cap end falls into a basket through a small chute carved into the side of the trunk. The Anvil at the top of the contains a hidden vesta compartment for storing matches and is accessed via the hidden horse shoe catch in the top of the anvil when turned a quarter the catch releases and the top of the anvil can be removed.
