- Lot Description
Europe, France, ca. 18th century CE. A lovely cast-brass signal cannon atop an ivory mount. The cannon is comprised of a lengthy barrel with five thick fillets, a small wick spout near the knob-adorned cascabel, and a pair of thick trunnions secured to the mount with arching brass bars. The base is hand-carved from ivory and features four small wheels and an open design for raising or lowering the barrel with ease. A small chain is attached on the front of the base, and a small ivory stopping block is chained to the backside. The brass barrel is covered in scattered areas of green and blue-green patina. Size: 11.375" L x 5.25" W x 5.375" H (28.9 cm x 13.3 cm x 13.7 cm).
The ivory mount pre-dates 1900 and was acquired long before the 1970 ban on ivory trade.
Please note that ivory from any species cannot be shipped to the US States of California, Hawaii, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and Washington State. As of 2019, they will not be able to be shipped to Illinois.
