SPECTACULAR 19TH CENTURY DECORATED POWDER HORN.

SPECTACULAR 19TH CENTURY DECORATED POWDER HORN. About 18” length overall of slim dimensions, and scraped to near transparency. This beautiful horn is very artistically scrimshawed with a variety of British/Napoleonic War motifs. It has a flat pine plug with a strap hole worked into one edge. The entire edge is reeded and the spout end has a very smooth raised nozzle. About 2/3 of the length of the horn is decorated. Near the plug end is a very large trophy of arms that appears to be a British crest surmounted with the word “Wellington” under a spread winged eagle holding olive branches in its talons. Just above that is a 3-masted gun boat under a fouled anchor with British flags surrounded by laurel wreaths with the name “Nelson” above. To the right side of that is a Naval officer holding a flower in his left hand. To the opposite side is a lady holding a flower in her hand. Below the lady is a set of crossed cannons with British flags and further down below that is Britannia holding a trident with an olive branch in her left hand sitting on a British shield. Behind her is another Victorian lady holding an olive branch in her right hand and supporting a fouled anchor with her left. Directly above toward the spout end is a vignette with the inscription “The. 3. Tons. / By / S. Cozens” surrounding three large beer or wine casks, all surrounded by a laurel wreath. The upper end of the decoration has a band of bunting and the lower end another band of bunting with a band of laurel and another of acanthus leaves. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Retains a mellow greenish patina with near transparency on the lower end. A beautiful & spectacular horn. 4-50258 JR938 (1,500-2,500)
