Curious Antiques

Description

Rare large antique 19th century Polynesian tribal hardwood paddle club, c1890.

It is clearly hand carved, a good weight 0.8kg, and has lovely primitive tribal form and look. It would display well in a modern or older setting. The club is carved in traditional form with a single rib to the paddle head and a bulbous end/handle.

Overall condition is good and exactly as you would expect for an antique example with only minor cracking, rubbing and wear to the wood. It has aged well with great rich colour/patina.

Size: 96cm long x 7cm wide at widest point x 3cm thick, weight 0.8kg.
