Hand-carved in France, this highly collectible wall hanging piece depicts wild quails with their young amidst a period-appropriate Black Forest woodland background. The tradition of Black Forest craftsmanship dates back to the early 1800s in the Brienz region of Switzerland, where local artisans used linden, maple, and walnut woods to create naturalistic scenes inspired by the abundance of wildlife. Signed and dated "Lejaar" to bottom right, this rare and monumental example stands among the finest works of the Black Forest technique.
