About the Item

Original Large French Gunner's Powder Horn, Naval - French, late 18th century. Of large size used to load cannons aboard ship. With fitted wooden plug and brass dispensing spout. The French Naval Gunner's Powder Horn was used for priming cannons with finely ground gunpowder. Representing a quintessential example of its kind, this horn features a body crafted from a cow's horn, sealed with a wooden plug at the wider end. A central screw plug, removable for powder replenishment, is situated within the wooden plug. At the narrower end, a 3" brass spout equipped with a spring-loaded catch ensures the secure containment of the powder. Two brass hanging rings on the horn provide attachment points for a shoulder cord. This specific design was employed by the French Navy during the late 1700s and featured prominently in naval conflicts against the British, including the Battle of the Nile in 1798, Copenhagen in 1801, and Trafalgar in 1805. In good condition for its age - Some worm holes and signs of age and use.

A Very Fine and Historically Significant George III Silver Mounted Powder Horn

Located in Lymington, Hampshire

This fine powder horn has silver mounts by the silversmiths Thomas Phipps and Edward Robinson, hallmarked for London, 1803. The charger on the horn has three adjustments and a side lever system and the wider end of the horn has a silver cap engraved with two crests, shields and family mottoes. The crests are for the Maitland and Dick families and represent the lineage of Rear-Admiral Sir Frederick Lewis Maitland. The Maitland line, represented by the lion crest and the motto Consilio et Animus represents the arms of the male line. Maitland’s father, also Frederick Lewis Maitland (1730-1786), had an interesting and successful naval career though was rather overshadowed by the later successes of his son. The martlet (small bird) crest and motto In Domino Confido is the female line, in this case Margaret Dick, daughter of Viscount Frendraught. The Dick family was important in the clan hierarchy in Scotland, being the head of Clan Crichton and heir to Clan Makgill at this time. Provenance Rear-Admiral Sir Frederick Lewis Maitland KCB (1777-1839) and thence by descent Rear-Admiral Sir Frederick Lewis Maitland KCB (1777-1839) Born in Fife, Maitland was the father of a distinguished naval officer as discussed above. Mailtand joined the navy straight from school and, whilst serving on the frigate HMS Southampton under captain Robert Forbes...
