18th Century Engraved Norwegian Powder Horn, Dolphin or Sea Serpent Head Spout:
$995.00

18th Century engraved Norwegian (Scandinavian) bovinepowder horn. The spout is a dolphin or sea serpent head. This flattened powder horn has a wood base, with worn incised decorations. There are engravings of floral decorations and birds on both sides of this horn. On one side, one bird has another bird held in its beak.

This old powder horn is in very good condition, showing wear consistent with its age and use. It has a very nice patina. The tip of the spout has a piece that was cracked and re-glued (see pictures). Overall straight line length of the powder horn is about 10 inches (25 cm). The oval shaped wood base measures about 3 1/2 by 1 inch. This is a very artistic powder horn and certainly one of a kind.

NOTE: We have another 18th century Norwegian powder horn now on sale. We have had these powder horns for a number of years; we acquired them from a collector of fine Norwegian antiques.

To Our International Customers: We ship via the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) and usually offer two shipping options:

First Class Mail International - shipping at less cost, but, according to the USPS, delivery time “varies” and can sometimes take several weeks. Also, there is no package tracking and shipping insurance is not available.

Priority Mail International - shipping cost is more, but delivery is usually within ten days of shipment. Provides partial insurance coverage and tracking of the shipment through the U.S. Postal system. For more expensive items, we usually require shipping via Priority Mail International and may add the cost of full shipping insurance to the cost of shipping.

Customs: The customs form we fill out for your shipment is marked “merchandise”, with the actual price you paid for the item as the value. We always include a packing slip with your purchase that identifies the item and the actual amount you paid for your purchase. Note: Postal regulations do not allow us to mark your purchase as “gift”. Customs fees are not included in the shipping cost and are the buyer’s responsibility.
