Description

Let yourselves be enchanted by the majestic elegance of this deer sculpture, a masterpiece that celebrates alpine fauna with the refined art of Val Gardena. Every detail is an expression of centuries of tradition.

The deer is depicted in a static and noble pose, its head raised to show its imposing branched antlers, symbols of strength and rebirth. The dominant colors are light and natural tones, which enhance the wood in its purest form, with shades ranging from pale cream-white to soft golden beige.

What makes this creation unique is its distinctive surface finish. The body is worked with a dense parallel line engraved texture, which gives the figure a tactile, dynamic, and incredibly artisanal appearance, recalling the stylization of the wild coat. The antlers and snout, on the other hand, have smoother surfaces by contrast.

True to our tradition, we exclusively use selected woods for our wild animal sculptures. To ensure the highest quality in every size, the sculpture is made of maple wood for sizes up to 56cm and linden wood for larger sizes, guaranteeing strength and definition of hand-carved details. A furnishing element that brings the serenity of alpine nature directly into your home.

Detail & Meaning
Il cervo (o cervo maschio) è una delle figure più potenti e ricorrenti nell'iconografia e nella simbologia alpina e universale. Rappresenta la nobiltà, la longevità e la rigenerazione spirituale, grazie al ciclo annuale di caduta e ricrescita delle sue corna, viste come "rami" che si protendono verso il divino o come corone regali. La posa eretta e calma di questa scultura ne enfatizza la dignità regale, incarnando la guida serena e la forza tranquilla della natura selvaggia. Nella mitologia celtica e germanica, il cervo è spesso associato alla caccia spirituale e alla ricerca della conoscenza.
Story
La tradizione dell'intaglio del legno in Val Gardena, risalente al XVII secolo, è profondamente legata alla rappresentazione del sacro e della vita alpina. Sebbene i maestri scultori Dolfi siano rinomati in tutto il mondo per le loro figure religiose, l'abilità degli artigiani si estende anche alla fauna selvatica. Sculture come il cervo celebrano il legame ancestrale tra la comunità gardenese e le sue montagne, mantenendo vive le tecniche tramandate di generazione in generazione e innovandole con finiture stilistiche contemporanee, come questa particolare texture a linee incise, che conferisce un tocco moderno all'arte tradizionale.
