Antique Horn Boxes. Please see items 141-153 for the entire collection.
We believe these are from Indonesia. Our collection includes antique Batak container carved entirely from genuine buffalo horn, each is adorned with a different animal or mythical Batak creatures with carved floral patterns and other designs.
They are hollow for storing medicine, tobacco, jewelry or treasures. Batak is a collective term used to identify a number of ethnic groups found in the highlands of North Sumatra Indonesia.Their heartland lies to the west of Medan.
In fact the Batak include several groups with distinct, albeit related, languages and customs. Toba Batak are known traditionally for their weaving, carving and constructing especially ornate stone tombs.
We are especially lucky to have a pair of Selig Z chairs.
Founded in 1931, the Selig furniture company epitomised the simple, elegant
forms typical of post-war Danish furniture design. The Selig Z chair is perhaps the company’s most well-known model.
The design of the Selig Z chair is often attributed to designer Poul Jensen. The Selig Z chairs were typified by their sweeping lines and were built of very high quality wood. As a result, Selig Z chairs are very collectible!
As you can see, there is lots in this auction to love!
Happy Bidding!
