Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

This eighteenth-century scale model of a field cannon displays a dark brown patinated bronze barrel mounted upon a robust oak carriage. The barrel features cast bronze details alongside distinct dolphin lifting handles, while the wooden carriage incorporates contrasting brass strapping and round metal stud fastenings. Two large spoked wooden wheels with brass rims flank the carriage sides, secured by turned metal hubs and linchpins. The stepped wooden trail tapers backwards to a flat end plate displaying decorative brass inlay accents. Measuring approximately 40 cm in length, the piece fits neatly upon an office desk or library table. Collectors of maritime or military curiosities place such items within a study or gentleman's library as a decorative desktop ornament. The rich timber tones, dark bronze surfaces and bright brass fittings combine to create an authentic period aesthetic suited for display in professional workspaces or private studies.

FAQs

During the 18th century, scale model cannons were manufactured as functional signal guns, master founder display pieces, or naval and military training aids used to demonstrate artillery mechanics.

authentic period models feature heavy cast bronze or iron barrels mounted onto hand-carved hardwood carriages, reinforced with iron or brass strapping, hardware, and spoked wooden wheels.

Authentic period examples display signs of genuine age including uneven surface wear, historical oxidisation of the metal, period joinery on the wooden carriage, and touchmarks or foundry stamps near the touchhole.

These historical models serve as statement accent pieces when placed on an office desk, mantelpiece, or curated bookshelf within a study or library setting.

Dust the item regularly with a soft brush, avoid aggressive chemical polishes that strip original metal patina, and apply microcrystalline wax to protect both the bronze barrel and wooden elements.
