A charming vintage Black Forest style folk art diorama, dating to the mid-20th century. This shadow-box style scene is hand-carved and painted, set behind glass in a wooden frame.
The diorama depicts a traditional Alpine tavern interior:
Three figures seated at a table playing cards
Painted wooden furniture, shelves with crockery, and decorative details
A window opening onto a mountain backdrop
Warmly painted accents, typical of mid-century folk craftsmanship
Dimensions: approx. 48 cm x 29 cm x 7 cm
Back details: The reverse retains its original hanging disc, marked “Super-Plus Disc Plate Hanger – Made in England – H. & J. Cooper, Gillingham, Dorset, England.” This suggests it was intended as a wall-hanging decorative piece for the mid-20th century tourist/folk market.
Condition: Overall good vintage condition. Minor age-related wear, paint rubbing, and dust under glass consistent with age. No major losses.
This is an excellent display piece with strong decorative and collectible appeal — ideal for lovers of Black Forest style, Alpine folk art, or unique wall décor.
