Students and teachers of both art schools in Val Gardena made a panelled room for the 1925 International Exhibition in Paris that was awarded the Grand Prix and three other medals for its sculptural features. The panelling is an example of the stylistic renewal going on in Val Gardena art during the wars, which was mainly thanks to the head of the art school at the time, Guido Balsamo Stella.

The carver's expertise is evident in the realistically rendered fur of this bear carved from Swiss pine wood. In order to safely guide the blade, the carver's thumb rested on the wood, while the handmade sweeping movements, which allowed the surface to be modelled quickly. Wood carvers from Val Gardena were considered to be extremely swift in their technique. 

Animal motifs like this reclining cow made from unvarnished arolla pine wood were carved mainly in Val di Funes during the 19th century and up to the First World War. A range of animals were depicted: exotic beasts from Noah's Ark, yet there were also examples of local animals, mostly characteristic of Alpine romanticism. 

This small carved and painted sculpture shows a couple beneath a tree with a goat nibbling at the woman's bouquet. The sculpture - probably from the 1840s - reflects fashions from the end of the Biedermeier period, while it also demonstrates Gröden wood carvers' adopting of motifs from all sales regions and the manufacture of ceramic items.

This artistic candle holder in empire style carved from a single piece of wood with criss-crossing garlands and acanthus leaves is painted in vivid yellow, red and green. The base on three legs rises up like a pyramid and lends the candle holder a stable, yet elegant look. Carved frames and partially turned candle holders were an important area of production for the Val Gardena art industry in the 18th and 19th centuries. 

Horse and rider are standing on a pedestal, yet not attached, with a lead weight helping them to keep their balance. The figurine swings when nudged, but still stays up there. The acrobat, turning a circle once nudged, works on the same principle. It is not possible to identify the carvers of these toys, as they are anonymous.

Most toys from Val Gardena were mass produced, yet there were also some carefully made unique items, like this post wagon with access door, double shafts, yellow varnishing and the writing 'K.K. Post'. As of 1856, post wagons accessed Val Gardena on the road through the valley, and in 1867 Val Gardena was joined up with the Brennero railway via Ponte Gardena, which made doing business in the valley a lot easier.

After jointed dolls, carved animals were the most important items in the Val Gardena range. Most of these were horses: rocking horses, draft horses for all sorts of carts and horses on wheels. These horses were painted and delivered in all sizes: from little toy figurines to ones that children could sit on.

It was customary to put pocket watches, considered valuable objects, on display in living rooms enclosed in ornately carved, partially gilded watch stands. Watch stands were a item commonly produced in Val Gardena from the mid-18th century until the 1870s, often featuring an allegorical depiction of time as an elderly man with a beard and wings. He usually held a sickle or scythe, later also a sand glass. 

This small sculpture with a flat back is an example of the anonymous domestic art popular in the 17th and 18th centuries all over the valley. It shows Adam and Eve under the apple tree. Eva is offering the apple to Adam and neither has yet eaten it. The snake as symbol of temptation is missing. The little sculpture was probably a private devotional work.
