Polynesian Hardwood Ribbed Paddle Club,c1890

19th century
For Sale by Curious Antiques
Description

Rare large antique 19th century Polynesian tribal hardwood paddle club, c 1890. It is clearly hand carved , a good weight 0.8kg and has lovely primitive tribal form and look. It would display well in a modern or older setting. The club is carved in traditional form with a single rib to the paddle head and a bulbous end/handle. Overall condition is good and exactly as you would expect for an antique example with only minor cracking, rubbing and wear to the wood. It has aged well with great rich colour/patina. Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact me with any questions or if you would like to view the item.

Size: 96cm long x 7cm wide at widest point x 3cm thick , weight 0.8kg. I will happily ship worldwide.

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

A Polynesian paddle club is a traditional hand-carved wooden object historically crafted across Pacific island nations for ceremonial, defensive, and everyday utilitarian purposes.

These items were predominantly carved from single pieces of dense indigenous hardwoods, selected for durability and weight, and finished through polishing with natural oils.

Authentic examples typically display smooth, hand-carved surface contours, evidence of hand-tooling rather than modern machinery, and a deep, naturally aged patina from handling and environmental exposure.

This type of artifact is commonly mounted vertically on a neutral accent wall, displayed inside a custom shadow box, or placed on a bespoke metal stand within a gallery-style collection.

Keep the wood in a stable climate with controlled humidity, away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight, and dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth.
