EAGLE. This cannon was likely made in the early 20th century and used as a saluting cannon. It also could have seen use as a decorative accessory to a grand colonial revival era home. The cannon measures approximately 45" in length and 10 1/2" across the trunnions. The bronze barrel has 6 areas of ringed decoration along with several raised stars throughout. The rear half of the cannon shows rope decoration and a prominent Spanish Imperial 2-headed eagle just above the touch hole. The barrel is lined with iron to make the decorative bronze cannon more functional for saluting or firing small balls. The cannon is mounted on a naval carriage featuring iron furniture, bands, and tie-down loops. An exceptionally decorative and visually appealing piece to "defend" an early home or accent a colonial collection. CONDITION: cannon generally shows light wear with a pleasing patina throughout. (02-23524/BF). $1,500-2,500.
