Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale. Stunning original circa 1880 Swiss made Black Forest wood, musical whip hook of a Rabbit with original glass eyes. A very very rare find, this is a large whip hook, they come in varying sizes and this is a good size. I have a few of these in my collection, an extra large musical fox and a bear are listed under my other items, I have with the restorers two dwarfs, one with a hammer the other a shield and another bear version, those will be listed in the coming weeks. This piece is in fine order, it’s been cleaned waxed and polished, its perfect! The music feature works by simply pulling down on the hooks, the idea being when you hang your “Whip” on the hook it would pull down and play a little tune, I guess to cheer you up after whipping something! Height:- 32.5cm. Width:- 9.5cm. Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point, if you would like any additional or specific measurements please ask.
