A beautifully carved set of three Bavarian picture frames elaborately carved using the ‘notch cut’ technique, each of the wooden frames is held together with a cross-lap joint. Dating from the mid 19th Century, the set of three matching hand-carved fruitwood picture frames were bought from Berchtesgaden on the Austrian/German border. Two of the frames retain period cut glass, one is without glass and all have wall hangers.
Each frame measures: 18.5cm H x 13.5cm W x 1.5cm D
PLEASE NOTE: I have two other sets available in store – please see last image for a group shot.

The region’s best-known handicraft is the “Berchtesgadener War” – wooden products made and painted by hand in the snow-free months by the poor Berchtesgaden farmers as a sideline. The pieces were carried by peddlers from the princely Berchtesgadener Land to the cities and neighbouring countries, providing the locals with a source of secondary income that was essential to their survival. In 1805, there were 641 wood craftsmen in Berchtesgaden still carving and turning wood!
