Dating from the mid 19th century, the set of two matching hand-carved fruitwood picture frames were bought from berchtesgaden on the austrian/german border. Both of the frames retain period cut glass and wall hangers.

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! this piece is designed in the style of the selected designer and/or manufacturer less
