1870s Black Forest Bear Chair. Very good shape. Has all his teeth. There is a slight split in the seat from wood drying out but it does not effect chair\'s integrity. Hand-hewn screws are used in the back to hold seat to bear figure, (metal screws came into use in the late 18th Century). Rare carving on both front and back of chair. Chair has been verified by both Christian Pirpamer of Black Forest World in Austria and from Terry at Fighting Bear Antiques in Jackson Hole, WY.
