Antique Bronze Cased Model Colubrina Da Fortezza Cannon 19th Century

19th century
For Sale by Regent Antiques
Description

This is a superb decorative glass-cased bronze model of the Colubrina da Fortezza cannon, late 19th century in date.

It features a 25 cm long brass barrel mounted on a two-wheel carriage on an oak base with a bronze Colubrina da Fortezza plaque.

The introduction of the muzzle-loading cannon meant the end of traditional methods of warfare and ancient fortifications. In the Battle of Castillon, in 1453, the last clash of the Hundred Years' War, the French defeated the English, thanks to cannons and bombards that managed to hit the archers long before they could get within a useful distance to use their bows.

Add a little bit of character to your surroundings.

This nineteenth-century scale model of a fortress culverin cannon dates from the 19th century and belongs to the militaria style. The object comprises a cast bronze and brass barrel finished in metallic bronze and warm brown tones, mounted upon a dark wooden carriage equipped with spoked wooden wheels and studded metal fittings. The entire assembly rests upon a rectangular timber plinth base complete with a metal identification plaque on the front edge and mechanical elevation hardware at the rear. The piece measures 17 cm high, 35 cm wide, and 21 cm deep. Items of this nature suit placement on an office desk within a gentleman's library or study as a decorative display piece. The model exhibits a combination of metallic and timber surfaces, visible metal rivets along the carriage chassis, and a chain linkage near the trail. The presentation base displays a finished wooden grain and a raised outer border.

FAQs

A Colubrina da Fortezza model is a scale replica of a fortress culverin, a long-barreled artillery piece historically utilized for stronghold defence during the Renaissance and early modern periods.

These models typically feature cast bronze or brass barrels mounted on wooden carriages made from hardwoods like oak or walnut, secured with iron or brass fittings and spoked wheels.

Authentic period pieces exhibit natural surface oxidisation and patination on metal elements, precise joinery on the carriage, and period-appropriate construction methods such as miniature rivets rather than modern threaded screws.

Scale cannon models serve as decorative accents on an office desk, a library bookshelf, or a fireplace mantelpiece, pairing well with dark wood furniture and traditional accessories.

Maintain the object by dusting regularly with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding liquid metal polishes or harsh chemical solvents that could remove the original aged patina or damage the wood finish.
