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.

FAQs

Percussion cap pistols were firearms developed in the early 19th century that utilised a cap containing mercury fulminate to ignite the main powder charge, replacing the earlier flintlock ignition system.

High-quality sets were constructed using steel or iron for the barrels and lockplates, walnut or mahogany for the carved stocks, and were housed in fitted wooden cases lined with wool baize or velvet.

Authentic examples feature maker signatures engraved on the lockplate or barrel top, British proof marks stamped into the metalwork, and chequered wooden stocks.

A cased pistol set can be displayed flat or angled on a low easel inside a glass cabinet, bookshelf, or desk in a study to complement dark wood furnishings.

Store firearms in a climate-controlled environment, apply microcrystalline wax to wooden cases and metal components, and handle metal surfaces with cotton gloves to prevent moisture transfer.
