Description
For the collectors of extremely rare Black Forest animal carvings.
With a combined 35+ years of experience in selling Black Forest antiques we have never seen a pair of table lamps and for them to be of this size, only made this find even more special. However, what makes this set truly amazing is the beaver sculpture. In all our years of buying and selling Black Forest antiques we have never seen one before and to have found this striking and extremely rare example in mint condition truly felt like a blessing. I have spent many holidays with family in Switzerland and I have seen what beavers are capable of. In just one night a beaver is capable of 'chopping' down several trees and on the local golfcourse at my brother's place that is exactly what happened. If you have never seen it in real life than you have no idea how large the chunks are that they can bite off. The strength in their neck and upper jaw must be incredible and the sharpness of those front teeth must be scary. Since these Black Forest beaver and bear sculptures are the exact same size and since they are facing each other, they make the ideal pair to grace your living space, for example standing on top of a large mantel or credenza. So if you are looking for a unique and truly decorative pair of sizable antique table lamps for your lodge, cabin, manor or country house then maybe you should be the next custodian of this once in a lifetime find. With absolutely no damage or restaurations to be found, we have no problem rating these rare antiques as being of museum quality and condition and we don't think we will ever find another pair like this. This large pair will arrive rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the country where they will go to and you will always be able to use your regular, local bulbs. In the coming weeks we will look for a new pair of lampshades, because in our view these older ones need replacing.
If you like these incredibly rare and lively Black Forest sculptures as much as we do than you will love our price. Also, because our price for this mint pair includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days.
Height x width x depth (as in image number one): 22.4 x 8.5 x 6.7 inches.
Maximum height x diameter including the shades: 31.1 x 19.7 inches.
Height without the socket/shade holder and without the blackened brass rod underneath: 18.5 inches.
We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for artistic yet practical and thus for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).
Condition report:
Excellent. Wear consistent with age and use. This unique pair has been rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage the world over. The sockets also are universal shade holders where the shades can rest on and be attached to.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
