Antique 19th Dutch century whale flensing knife
This sharp sickel shaped blade was hand forged in the mid 1800’s and served a messy purpose.
It was used in the Dutch whaling industry to cut off blubber in the decompositioning of a killed whale.
Although I hope we all agree that hunting these majestic creatures is a horrible occasion, the whaling industry has been very important to the European history and economy. Back then the oil that was obtained from whales was used to produce many everyday products such as lamp oil, candles, and soap and therefor was essential. Sadly overhunting the arctic seas for centuries has been devastating to the populations of many whale species. Because of its dark past, mixed vibes remain attached to this rare relic though I still consider it a true piece of history that comes with loads of adventurous tales!
It’s crudely hand-wrought and forged in iron with a cone to attach a wooden handle.
This relic would be an unique piece to add to your collection or cabinet of curiosities!
Even after almost two centuries this knife still remains in good condition! The iron surface of the blade only shows some minor wear due to use and time.

Length: 41 cm
Width: 24 cm
Diameter cone: 4.5 cm

This unique figure was sculptured in the South of Franse in the early 20th century.
It was skillfully hand carved out of one single piece of solid wood and is a perfect example of old school craftmanship as it features some unique characteristics and details!
Considering the size of the sculpture it must have been carved out of quite a large tree trunk.
Dressed in traditional clothing including a long black cloak and feathered hat combined with his black beard and the hunting horn attached to its belt this hunter man looks to be from a fairy tale!
It was also hand painted in lovely earthy tones and features glass eyes.
It would be an unique decor piece to greet peolpe at the entrance of a bar, man cave or cabin!
After a century the sculpture remains in worn condition and shows a lovely distressed patina that only adds to its character by giving it a rough touch!
Sadly his left hand is missing but can be replaced. It might be cool to make him hold a flag or banner with a logo or text!
The figure has been coated with transparent lacquer to give the surface a protective layer and a glossy finish.

Prehistoric 30.000 y/o pleistocene partial cave bear jaw bone – ‘Ursus spelaeus’
The Cave Bear was a massive omnivore that lived in Europe during the Pleistocene period and became extinct around 28,000 years ago.
This enormous animal is thought to be a relative to today’s brown bear but it was significantly larger.
Adult males averaged half a ton in weight, and when standing on their hind legs they were up to 10 feet tall!
That would put them comparably in size to the largest of modern-day Kodiak and Polar bears.
This bone has been found inside a cave, deep into the Carpathian mountains.
An unique and very decorative piece that would fit perfectly into your collection or cabinet of curiosities!
The jaw remains in damaged condition.
Sadly the upper part of the joint has been damaged and the jaw is missing almost all its teeth except for a remaining molar.
