* Black Forest
Black Forest woodcarvings are not native to Germany, but were made in the Brienz region of Switzerland. Woodworking is an ancestral tradition in this region, and the local people perpetuate the practice of carving wood on house facades, furniture and everyday objects. Sculptors excel in depicting wild animals in their natural environment. In the 19th century, these naturalistic sculptures of the Black Forest became very fashionable and highly prized.
