Black Forest carved clock plaque by Johann Huggler (1834-1912) of Brienz - a small town in Bernese Oberland, Canton Bern Switzerland. Signed with a sticker on the bottom that reads "ch.H.Schuh Interlaken" and the same formation written in ink. When one looks at the old photographs of Johann Huggler this is a self portrait. Johann was known as the "King of Carvers" of Brienz. The few carvings that survived until this day pay homage to the mastery with which he carved animals and human figures. It was he who opened the Swiss Wood Carving School in Brienz in Circa 1870, where all the carvers learned the craft to produce the bears that are so collectible today. Only the second signed piece we have had by this famous carver - rare and important. 34" x 24" x 6"
