A decorative 19th-century cast-iron signal cannon mounted upon a strongly constructed oak carriage. The substantial barrel features moulded bands, a flared muzzle and rounded cascabel, secured by iron trunnion caps and square-headed bolts.
The stepped wooden carriage is raised on four solid wheels with metal securing pins and retains a rich, aged patina throughout. An unusual display piece for a library, study or entrance hall.
The cannon appears to have been blocked and is sold strictly as a decorative antique. It has not been tested.
