About the Item
This handsome Continental Art Nouveau **bronze** shoehorn (c. 1900) is conceived as a stylized hunting horn: the handle sweeps into a sinuous whiplash scroll that tightens to a small knopped volute, visually echoing the coiled tube and mouthpiece of a chasse horn while providing a natural finger stop and hanging loop. The business end is a broad, gently concave spoon with a softly flared lip that slips cleanly between heel and counter; inside, you can see the planished surface and neat brazed junction where the spoon meets the hollow stem—evidence of skilled fabrication rather than casting. The metal carries a mellow, chocolate patina with brighter high points from honest use, and a discreet seam of original solder at the transition remains sound. Measuring 9.75" wide by 4" high by 1.75" deep, the piece is long enough for comfortable leverage yet compact for a dressing stand. Marrying Belle Époque elegance with field-sport imagery, it turns an everyday implement into a small, functional sculpture—at once a practical shoehorn and a refined nod to the traditional hunting horn.
