This Antique Ceremonial Drinking Horn, dating back to 1895, is a stunning piece of 19th-century craftsmanship, likely originating from France or Germany, possibly the culturally rich Alsace region. More than just a functional drinking vessel, this antique horn was likely used in ceremonies or as a commemorative trophy. The brass plaque, engraved with the words “H.H. S.L. Jean Ackermann 1895,” suggests it was awarded to Jean Ackermann for a significant achievement or event. Adding to its prestige, the horn is topped with a beautifully crafted brass lion finial, a symbol of strength and nobility often associated with French and German heraldry.
Despite its age, this piece remains in excellent antique condition, with a patina that enhances its historical appeal. While it is missing a few of the original pins or tacks that would have secured the horn in place, it still fits snugly and isn’t loose. This small detail doesn’t detract from its overall charm or displayability. The craftsmanship is evident in the intricate brass mounts and the elegance of the design, making it a standout collectible for any enthusiast of European antiques.
This ceremonial trophy horn is perfect for collectors of European artifacts, antique trophies, or anyone who appreciates owning a unique, historical piece. It’s a conversation starter with a story to tell, and its presence is sure to capture attention wherever it’s displayed.
