English Coach Horn c.1895
This is a hammered copper coach
horn about 48 inches long. It separates in the middle by use of a brass
ferrule. The applied cast brass crown logo may be suspect in terms of
origin- but the coach horn is well made consistant with 19th century
workmanship. Coach horns were carried in a woven cane basket at
the rear of the coach and played by a footman to announce the arrival
of the coach- or perhaps the mail.
