Description

A rare and unusual 19th century war club,c1880. The head of the club is presented as a clenched fist which is an unusual form, but one I have seen occasionally in Native American clubs, but more usually in clubs and sticks from the Pitcairn Islands in the South Pacific. Hand carved in hardwood the club is a good weight for its size at 0.6kg ,well balanced and capable of delivering a heavy blow. The colour of the wood is lovely following many years of handling and use. Overall condition is good ,there is a small loss to one knuckle (please see photographs) which looks to have happened many years ago perhaps during use in anger. There is a small hole drilled in the end presumably to allow some form of carrying handle/rope. Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact me if you would like to view the item or have any questions.

Size: 54cm tall/long x 7cm wide x 6cm deep, weight 0.6kg.

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.
