Description from HiBid
Dimensions:<br>Height: 21 1/4 in (54 cm)<br>Description<br><br>This antique brass trumpet presents a boldly sculptural form with a richly aged dark patina accumulated over many decades. The body features finely cast tubing, four valve caps with aged surface coloration, and a flared bell showing natural oxidation and patinated spotting consistent with long-term storage or display. The instrument's craftsmanship??visible in the detailed valve block, curved braces, and subtly faceted bell interior??reflects 19th-century manufacturing methods. Though untested for musical functionality, the trumpet stands as an evocative decorative object, valued today for its visual presence, historical character, and authentic surface age.
