Description

For sale, the fine Wooden solid wood carving of a Cricket Ball as a deck top ornament, for the man has everything and is mad about cricket. Probably Mahogany. A small flat area to the base so the ball stays in position on a desk or table. Very tactile. Nicely carved. Not sure of the age but 1950s/60s. Diameter just over 7cm and 7 cm tall. A fabulous item. I have not found another so probably a one off. Price £47.50 inclusive of shipping to within the UK

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Novelty desk ornaments shaped like sporting equipment gained popularity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as working studies became central to home life. Craftsmanship focused on recreating items such as cricket balls, golf balls, and rugby balls from fine hardwoods to serve as paperweights or decorative study accents.

These decorative items are typically turned and carved from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, walnut, or fruitwood. The detailed seams and stitching patterns are incised using specialised woodworking gouges before the piece is finished with lacquer or wax polish.

Authentic hand-carved examples feature subtle variation in the depth and spacing of the seam incisions, reflecting manual hand-tool work rather than modern machine moulding. Look for natural grain continuity across the sphere and a soft patina created by hand-applied finish.

Place the object on an executive desk, a stack of hardcover books, or a bookshelf alcove alongside brass or leather accents. It functions as both a tactile paperweight and a understated focal point in a study or library.

Dust the item regularly with a clean, dry microfibre cloth to prevent dust accumulation in the carved seams. Avoid direct sunlight and radiators to prevent wood shrinkage or cracking, and apply a small amount of natural beeswax polish annually to maintain the luster.
