About the Item

This exceptional and highly sculptural 19th-century Black Forest gun stand is a rare, one-of-a-kind work crafted from meticulously arranged natural antlers. Rising in a dramatic, tree-like form, the composition features a central column of interwoven antlers branching outward to support two circular tiers designed to hold firearms. Each rack is fitted with brass hooks and green felt-lined rests to protect and stabilize the guns, reflecting both functional precision and refined craftsmanship. Produced in the Black Forest region of Germany, such pieces were traditionally made for hunting lodges and aristocratic interiors, celebrating the Romantic-era fascination with nature, hunting culture, and virtuoso woodworking. The careful selection and symmetrical arrangement of the antlers demonstrate the hand of a skilled artisan, elevating the stand beyond utilitarian purpose to a striking decorative object. Surviving examples of this scale and complexity are exceedingly rare. This gun stand stands as a powerful testament to 19th-century Black Forest artistry, combining rustic materials with sculptural ambition and exceptional originality. 70"H
