Buyer's Premium:

A collection of items comprising a coaching horn and decorative walking sticks. The coaching horn is of copper? and brass? construction, featuring a tapering tube with a flared bell finished with a brass? rim and a single suspension ring. The collection includes three walking sticks featuring cast brass? animal head handles. One handle is formed as an eagle? head mounted to a reddish-brown wooden shaft decorated with deep hand-carved imbricated scales and a brass? collar. Two further sticks feature sectional dark-stained wooden shafts divided into three parts joined by flush-fitting brass? collars, one topped with an eagle? head handle and the other with a horse? head handle. The handles show a varied aged patina and the wooden shafts exhibit a polished finish with minor surface wear.
