Description

Antique Copper Hunting Horn 50″ Long

This reclaimed antique copper hunting horn carries a history you can see and feel. Every dent, mark, and scratch reflects years of use in the English countryside. Measuring 50 inches in length, with a 4½-inch bell, this horn was once a working tool of the hunt. Now, it brings warmth and history into interior spaces.

English copper hunting horns became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, when organised hunting traditions spread across the countryside. Unlike brass horns used in cavalry or orchestras, copper horns produced a softer, more mellow tone. They were often favoured by huntsmen for their clarity over distance without the harshness of other metals.

The 50-inch length plays a key role. It allows the horn to produce a deep, resonant sound while maintaining a graceful, sweeping form. Visually, this length works well in larger rooms—dining halls, stairwells, or reception areas—where it adds interest without overwhelming the space.

This antique copper hunting horn includes a brass mouthpiece and a matching brass ferrule halfway down its body. The ferrule marks a joint, letting the horn separate for easy transport. This practical feature reflects thoughtful design from a time when function mattered as much as appearance.

Historical Decor

Today, horns like this rarely see the field. Instead, they’re displayed proudly on walls, where they act as quiet reminders of rural traditions. When reclaimed for interior use, they add depth and authenticity to a space. The natural patina gives warmth, while the imperfections add honest detail.

Choosing reclaimed decorative pieces like this antique copper hunting horn supports sustainable design. It reduces the need for newly manufactured items and helps preserve the craftsmanship of the past. Each piece brings its own story into your home.

The antique copper hunting horn blends character, form, and history. It suits both period and modern interiors, offering a bold but respectful nod to the past.

Match with a vintage bedpan for a rustic aesthetic.
