A mid 19th century ear trumpet with
ivory earpiece and silk carry case by Hawksley. The ear horn is of
the rare convoluted style. Although there is significant age related
wear to the black finish, the body and metalwork itself is in
excellent condition and there are no dents or scratches. The fixed
ear piece made from ivory is in good condition noting a small
hairline crack inferiorly (see pictures). There is a brass plaque on
the front which reads "Hawksley 357 Oxford Street London".
Unusually this piece comes with a silk carry case. I do not know if
this was original to the piece but it is certainly old and the loops
for the pull-string are made from wood. A beautiful antique ear horn
and carry case. Height 110 x Width 90 m |
