About the Item

Antique Black Forest Lounge Chair, that was part of a major collection of Black Forest items sold by a Chateau outside of Marseille, France. There were a total of (42) antique Black Forest items that we have imported from the chateau and we still have a few remaining that are also listed on 1stdibs. Old Plank has been collecting and selling Black Forest furniture and Black Forest accessories for over 30-years and never have we witnessed a collection of Black Forest of this size. Black Forest furniture history began in Switzerland during the 1800’s and followed after the popularity of the small carved animals that were made for the tourist trade. **Please note a leaf is missing the center tip; images 5 and 6.

Antique Black Forest Sofa from French Chateau in the South of France, Restored
Located in BENSENVILLE, IL
Another selection from the extensive collection of Old Plank's Black Forest furniture. We look at Black Forest furniture as being both a bit rustic and a little whimsical. Black Forest furniture dates from the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s and although most people believe Black Forest originated in Germany, or Austria, it was also made in France and Switzerland and the Swiss are the ones who invented the style in the City of Brienz. The original carving of Black Forest furniture and small animal sculptures was driven by the Tourist trade. Old Plank was fortunate to be able to purchase an entire room of Black Forest furniture from a chateau in the South of France, The collection includes; Black Forest chandelier, scones, huge mirrors...
