AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Buffalo Horns
Stunning pair of Buffalo Horns, in excellent condition, prepared by skilled hands and placed on two beautiful wooden pedestals to emphasize their importance and beauty.
They presumably date from the Italian colonial era, more likely the first half of the 20th century, a date that can be inferred from the type of screws used to fasten the horns to the pedestal: that kind of screw was used up to the 1950s, so the work was probably done earlier.
The horns are in excellent condition, with small signs of wear, nearly insignificant, while the age of the objects becomes more evident in the details of the base; a simple restoration would be possible, but in our opinion it would diminish the antique charm and the lived-in feel.
They will become a beautiful collectible object in a home with a unique atmosphere.
Maximum dimensions: about 90x27x21 cm
Horn length: about 740 mm
Horn diameter: about 110 mm
Base diameter in wood: about 19 cm
Material: Horn
Origin: Italy/Italian colonial Africa
Era: presumably the 1950s
Craft: hand-made
Conditions: good overall condition with small signs of age on the base visible in the photos; the horns are in excellent condition.
The photos are part of the description; please look carefully.
Shipping with trackable package.
Being unique collectible items, the packaging is made with extreme care and tailored to each individual piece to guarantee its integrity during transport until delivery.
