Pair of bronze cannons 25cm sold in pairs
1 in stock
This pair of bronze cannons is a remarkable decorative ensemble, inspired by the naval artillery and siege artillery of past centuries. The gun barrels, made from solid bronze, have a beautiful dark patina that gives them an authentic, historic appearance. They are mounted on movable chromed metal mounts, the shine of which contrasts elegantly with the matt barrel, creating an interesting interplay between tradition and modernity.
Although the exact origin of this pair of bronze guns remains undetermined, the quality of the casting and the meticulous assembly bear witness to fine craftsmanship, probably dating from the second half of the 20th century. Each model is complete, with its openwork wheels and simplified aiming system. Sold together, they form a perfect symmetry for a mantelpiece, bookcase or executive desk.
These objects of curiosity will appeal to both militaria enthusiasts and interior decorators looking for pieces with character. Their sculptural dimensions and substantial weight make them stable and imposing decorative elements. They evoke the world of old navies and great historic battles, while remaining civilised and aesthetically pleasing objets d'art.

The bronze cannon has long been the symbol of the military and technological power of great European nations. From the Renaissance onwards, master founders elevated the manufacture of these weapons to an art form, often adorning the barrels with coats of arms and mottos. Scale models, like these, were traditionally presented to officers or used as masterpieces by artisans to demonstrate their craftsmanship.
Today, these decorative replicas perpetuate this fascination for ancient ballistic engineering. They capture the martial aesthetic of fortresses and ships of the line, without the violence of their primary function. Placed in a contemporary interior, these cannons become silent witnesses to an era when war was waged with lace and when even instruments of destruction were designed with a concern for formal elegance.
