Early 20th century Black Forest hand carved walnut bookslide depicting a fox and hound, with adjustable sliding action and hinged ends, dating to circa 1910.
ABOUT
From our Accessories collection, we are pleased to offer this Black Forest fox and hound hand carved bookslide from a private collection, dating to the early 20th century, circa 1910.
The linden wood book slide, also known as an adjustable book end, features a central sliding mechanism allowing the width to be altered to accommodate books of varying sizes. The carved base is decorated with scrolling foliate detail and supports two finely carved animal figures. One side depicts a fox perched upon a log, while the opposing side features a hound seated in a similar pose.
The bookslide is fitted with hinged ends, allowing the figures to fold flat for storage when not in use. Both practical and decorative, this is a strong example of early 20th century Black Forest carving with clear attention to form, proportion, and detail.
53cm Wide fully extended.
