About the Item

This most eye catching piece of British history is a very rare example. It would once have belonged to one of the three hundred or so lodges of the Ancient Order of Foresters which were spread across the United Kingdom. The Ancient Order of the Foresters was a friendly society established in the 18th century and was very popular throughout the Victorian period. It was created to provide mutual aid to workers at a time when state welfare did not exist. The horn would be used in ceremonial meetings. It is a lovely piece made from a beautifully coloured polished cow horn with polished nickel mounts and an ornate brass plaque bearing the order insignia. The horn retains the original green cord with ornate tassels. This horn is an interesting and decorative collector's piece in very good original condition. Height 11cm x width 33cm x depth 14cm

Antique French Brass Hunting Horn, "Le Cor de Chasse", Early 1900s

Located in Dallas, TX

An ancestor of modern orchestral horns, this le cor de chasse, or hunting horn, would have been carried by a member of a fox or stag hunting party known as the huntsman. Unlike orchestral horns, this brass version is valveless, relying on the skill of the huntsman to manipulate pitch through delicate adjustments of the lips.

Horns such as these (cor à plusieurs tours) that feature distinctive tight coils and a soldered mouthpiece were designed to be played with one hand while on horseback. Our French brass hunting horn...
