Carl Auböck brass ashtray, model 3317, Austria 1935.

A Pair of Antique Horn Drinking Vessels with Silvered Figural Stands, 19th Century This striking pair of sculptural horn vessels exemplifies the dramatic elegance of 19th-century European decorative arts, combining natural materials with finely modelled metalwork. Each vessel is formed from a polished natural horn, gracefully curved and mounted with silvered metal mounts, including pierced collars and tapered finials that accentuate the organic silhouette of the horn. The horns are supported by cast silvered figural bases, each depicting a standing male figure in period dress, posed dynamically as if presenting the vessel above. The figures rest on stepped circular bases, lending architectural stability and theatrical presence to the composition. The interplay between the warm, variegated tones of the horn and the cool brilliance of the silvered metal creates a visually compelling contrast, both tactile and sculptural. Historically inspired by ceremonial drinking horns associated with aristocratic, guild, and courtly traditions, this pair functions today as luxury decorative objects rather than utilitarian vessels. They are ideal as statement centrepieces, cabinet highlights, or collector’s objects, appealing to interiors that celebrate historicism, masculinity, and craftsmanship. Whether placed symmetrically on a console, flanking a mantelpiece, or displayed in a curated interior vignette, these horn vessels project authority, heritage, and refined eccentricity.
