Antique 19th century French vide poche
This authentic brass vide-poche was made in France and dates to the late 19th century. It features a striking Art Nouveau relief depicting a hunter pursuing two deer, rendered with elegant movement and fine period detail.
Originally intended as a small decorative trinket dish, it now works beautifully as a cabinet of curiosities object, an ashtray, or a stylish catchall for small valuables. The sculptural quality and subject matter make it a particularly eye catching display piece.
Despite being over a century old, the dish remains in good condition. Over time, the brass has developed a deep, natural patina that enhances its authenticity and visual appeal without detracting from the crispness of the relief or the overall design.

Antique 19th century hand forged harpoon.
This crude yet fascinating iron harpoon dates back to the early 1800s and was once used in the harsh world of maritime hunting. Such tools were employed to catch fish, seals, or even small whales, reflecting the perilous life of whalers at sea.
