Brienz Black Forest Carvings

Cisco’s acquired the Brienz Collection in 2001, purchasing a large private collection of a museum in Brienz, Switzerland and then assisting in publishing a comprehensive and authoritative book on the subject, Black Forest Bears and Wood Carvings, 1860-1920.  Since that time, Cisco’s continues to acquire additional pieces, both large and small, with one of the largest offerings in the country – over 400 pieces.
