Black Forest
Term used for furniture carved in rural Germany and Switzerland during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Originally named for the Black Forest region of Germany where it was thought to have come from, it is now believed most Black Forest furniture was produced in Brienz Switzerland as an economic stimulus for the timber industry and local wood craftspeople. Black Forest furniture is commonly identified by its symbolic use of carved bears and other forest creatures such as eagles, ibexes, chamois, deer, and boars. Frequently the furniture is made of local woods of the region like the linden tree as it is easily carved, but walnut was also widely used.
Oak
A dense hardwood valued in furniture making for its durability and strength. It varies in shade depending on variety and can range from a lighter wood (white oak) to a deep reddish brown (red oak). It became popular during the Tudor period in England and remains a popular wood variety.
Sconce
A wall-mounted bracket light, typically with an upward-facing arm that holds, in antique sconces, an oil lamp or candle, or in modern examples, an electrified light. Antique sconces were used often in corridors or in pairs on both sides of an entryway. They featured a reflective backplate to intensify candlelight while keeping the candle a safe distance from the wall. They are commonly made of metals such as silver, bronze, or ormolu and became very decorative in the 18th Century.
