An exceptional collector's pair of desktop naval model signal cannons. Each features a multi-stage tapered gunmetal/bronze barrel displaying a rich, uncleaned historical patina. The barrels are securely mounted via trunnion caps onto stepped English oak carriages with four operational iron wheels and metal eyelet fittings.

Superb desktop presence, highly sought after as a matching set. Overall in excellent antique condition with stable construction and smooth-rolling wheels. One small securing pin is missing from a top bracket (does not affect stability or display value), otherwise remarkable preservation.
