This early 20th century falconry block serves as a piece of traditional country pursuits equipment, designed in a Highland hunting lodge style. The piece combines a warm brown turned wooden block with a textured cork top pad, mounted upon a long iron ground spike. Visible details include horizontal decorative mouldings encircling the wooden body, an integrated circular metal flange on the iron shaft, and visible losses to the surface of the timber block. The entire assembly stands 69 cm high. In a modern home, this item finds a practical placement within a fireplace alcove or study setting as a decorative decorative accent.

FAQs

A falconry block perch is designed to provide a secure resting surface for tethered raptors, such as falcons and hawks, during outdoor field training or resting periods.

Traditional falconry blocks were crafted from dense hardwoods like oak or elm to withstand talon wear, paired with forged iron ground spikes and padded tops made of felt, turf, or leather.

Authentic pieces feature hand-turned wood with natural wear patterns from claws, hand-forged iron ground spikes showing surface oxidisation, and joinery constructed without modern adhesives.

A falconry block can be displayed as a sculptural object within a fireplace alcove, mounted inside a custom display base, or integrated into a library setting alongside natural history items.

Keep the item in a stable indoor environment, treat the iron spike with microcrystalline wax to prevent rust progression, and clean the turned wooden block with a soft dry cloth.
