Item Description
Style: These charming early 20th-century "Cavalli" – seahorse-shaped (Hippocampus) oar locks are authentic remnants of Venetian gondola tradition. Crafted from solid brass, these unpolished mounts once guided steering ropes on the iconic boats. Their character shines through, making them perfect for display: mount them on marble or wood, or use them as unique bookends.
Story: The hippocampus symbolises Venice's connection to the sea and its history as a powerful naval force.
