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.

This Georgian period double barrel flintlock sporting gun by Probin of London dates to circa 1795 and is formed of a dark walnut brown wood stock paired with twin steel barrels. The visible hardware includes an intricate flintlock mechanism with an engraved lockplate, a curved brass trigger guard surrounding twin triggers, and a small oval inlay set into the wrist of the stock. The weapon displays a deep brown polished timber tone across the stock contrasting with the mottled grey and dark finish of the metal components. Measuring 15 cm high, 124 cm wide, and 9 cm deep with an 83 cm barrel length, the piece serves as a decorative display item suitable for mounting horizontally above the mantel in a study, library, or traditional country interior. It brings authentic historic character to a living space without requiring any specialist furniture integration or active firearm licensing for wall mounting.

FAQs

Developed during the eighteenth century, a double-barrel flintlock sporting gun features two parallel barrels fired by flintlock mechanisms, designed primarily for game bird and small game hunting.

These firearms typically combine figured walnut wood stocks with forged iron or Damascus steel barrels, fitted with engraved steel lockplates and brass or silver trigger guards.

Authentic pieces feature period gunsmith maker marks, proof marks beneath the barrels, hand-carved wood stocks, and signature flintlock mechanisms incorporating a cock, frizzen, and pan without percussion conversion.

Mount the item horizontally above a fireplace mantelpiece or within a wood-panelled study or library to serve as a dramatic wall-mounted focal point.

Keep the gun in a climate-controlled environment with low humidity, periodically apply microcrystalline wax to the metalwork to prevent rust oxidisation, and nourish the walnut stock with high-grade beeswax polish.
