24" Antique Swiss Black Forest Walnut Wood Carving Calendar Thermometer Watch Holder Edelweiss Brienz c1890
To auction comes this beautiful wood carving. It was intricately carved by one of the master carvers in Brienz, Switzerland from walnut wood showing beautiful edelweiss flowers in relief and filigree. This item is part of the antique “new [old] uncirculated” stock from the famous 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, but remained packed and stored for roughly one century. This piece dates to circa 1890.
Thermometer is in celsius and fahrenheit and it has a day, date, and month calendar. Above the thermometer shows PATENT and the Swiss Cross. Lower section has a hook and space to hang a pocketwatch. It measures ~24" tall, ~11" wide, and ~1 1/2" deep. Very good used condition with great patina. See photos for further condition detail.
