19th century
Description

A decorative signal cannon featuring a substantial cast-iron barrel with moulded ring decoration and a flared muzzle. The barrel is mounted upon a well-constructed oak carriage with stepped sides, retaining wedges and four turned wooden wheels.

The ironwork has developed an attractive aged patina, complemented by the warm colour and grain of the oak carriage. A characterful display piece for a study, library or maritime collection.

The barrel appears to have been blocked and has not been tested.

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

Signal cannons were utilised aboard vessels and along coastlines to sound warnings, signal ship arrivals, or perform ceremonial salutes rather than engaging in direct combat.

The cannon barrels were typically cast from iron or bronze, whilst the stepped naval carriages were fashioned from dense hardwoods such as oak or teak.

Authentic examples display genuine surface oxidisation, age-appropriate patination on the ironwork, and natural wear to the wooden wheels and stepped carriage.

These items serve as striking focal points when positioned on a bookshelf, mantelpiece, or executive desk within a traditional or modern study.

Keep iron components dry and treated with a light application of microcrystalline wax to prevent rust, while conditioning the wooden carriage with natural beeswax.
