AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Buffalo Horns
Stupendous pair of buffalo horns, in excellent preservation, prepared by expert hands and placed on two fine wooden pedestals to highlight their importance and beauty.
They probably date to the Italian colonial era, more likely to the first half of the 20th century, a date that can be inferred from the type of screws used to secure the horns to the pedestal: that type of screw was used up until the 1950s, so the work was probably done earlier.
The horns are in excellent condition, with small signs of wear, virtually 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 spoil the charm of antiquity and the lived-in feel.
They will become a beautiful collectible item in a home with a unique flavor.
Maximum dimensions: about 90x27x21 cm
Horn length: about 740 mm
Horn diameter: about 110 mm
Wood base diameter: about 19 cm
Material: Horn
Origin: Italy/Italian colonial Africa
Era: presumably 1950s
Craftsmanship: handmade
Condition: good overall with small signs of age on the base visible in the photo; the horns are in excellent condition.
The photos are part of the description; please view carefully.
Shipping with traceable package.
Being unique collectible items, the packaging is crafted with extreme care and tailor-made for each piece to ensure its integrity during transport until delivery.
