A 19th-century miniature “signal cannon”, featuring a bronze barrel mounted on a solid hardwood carriage with spoked iron wheels. It would have been fired with a small black-powder charge to signal arrivals, celebrations, or warnings. This rare piece maintains a naturally aged patina across the barrel, carriage, and wheels. French, c. 1860.
