Two rare scrimshaw decorated horns, signed and inscribed by C.H. Wood.

Each curled horn is ornately carved with important motif’s relating to the Battle of Trafalgar and iconic battleships. Our two horns are fascinating examples of the work of this extremely talented man and are truly museum quality pieces in themselves.

Little is known about the mysterious C. H. Wood but it has now been established by good reasonable doubt that he was born Charles H. Wood and, according to new sources we have discovered, he was a Liverpool man and at one point worked for a Mr Winsland, builder in London. He was English by birth but enjoyed a truly international career, seemingly working in both America and Australia and exhibiting his exceptional productions on board ships and at ports.
