Very Rare Antique French, Louis Fiolet, St Omer, Early Jacob Pipe No. 726, c1860
Posted by admin On December 10, 2025
Very Rare Antique French, Louis Fiolet, St Omer, Early Jacob Pipe No. This pipe came from the Trevor Barton collection, a world renowned collector of tobacciana, who died in 2008, he had been amassing the collection for more than 50 years. Trevor Barton received the rare honour of being inducted into the’Academie Internationale de la Pipe. The Fiolet company and was started around 1764 in Saint Omer by Thomas Fiolet, quickly becoming successful. In 1789 there were no less than 500 people working and in 1823 there were 600. In 1860 the factory was producing more than ten million pipes a year. In 1892 Maximillien Junior’s son-in-law Georges Audebert took over the company and after he died in 1897 the company was managed by his wife until 1921, when it closed its doors. The design of the Jacob pipe did not appear to have come about all at once, it was idea that developed over time, but Jacob. Pipes all have the same design in principle: a man’s face with moustache, beard and turban. As far as can be traced, the first step was taken by the Fiolet company in Saint-Omer. Around 1860, this company came up with a pipe with a bearded man’s head with a turban that, although it strongly resembled other Turkish heads or exotics, already had the specific beard and headdress of the Jacob design. The design was given form number 726 and it would become one of the most popular and most copied pipes. This early creation is not yet a mature Jacob pipe. For example, the inscription is still missing from the turban, although the two tassels are present, they are less conspicuous than they would become. The turban has two hanging flaps at the bottom, which will later disappear from the design. For those familiar with the Jacob pipe, the undecorated lower back of the beard also points to the design not yet being fully realised, the emphatic rectangular text shields will appear on this some years later. This pipe is from the very early first creation of the Jacob pipe, it has been molded with design number 726 on the right, within the same styled frame used to display the makers name on the left, which reads: L. The pipe has rich colourful enamel glazed accents to the turban and tassels, with white accents highlighting the luxurious beard, and striking white and black eyes. He is a wonderful character. The pipe is in wonderful used condition, creating a rich dark patina, he has a small chip to his nose. The pipe measures approx. 9cm by 4.5cm by 7cm. A rare collectable pipe, that would make a fantastic addition for a discerning collector. Please see pictures for more details. Recycled packaging is used as much as possible.

Very Rare Mesolithic to Early Neolithic Bone Net Making Tool Prehistoric
Posted by admin On November 27, 2025
Very Rare Mesolithic to Early Neolithic Bone Net Making Tool – Prehistoric Fishing Artefact from Cromer Beach, Norfolk. This very rare Mesolithic to Early Neolithic bone net making tool is an authentic example of prehistoric ingenuity and craftsmanship, discovered on the Cromer Beach coastline in Norfolk, England. Crafted from animal bone over 6,000 years ago, this artefact represents an extraordinary survival from Britain’s ancient past-a tangible connection to the daily life and resourcefulness of early hunter-gatherer and farming communities. The photograph shows the exact specimen you will receive. All of our artefacts are 100% genuine specimens and come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Archaeological and Cultural Context. During this era, coastal and riverine resources were vital to survival. Fishing, shellfish gathering, and the construction of nets and traps were essential elements of prehistoric life along Britain’s waterways and shores. Bone tools such as this one were typically used in net making, weaving, and cord manipulation -vital technologies for constructing fishing nets and traps. These tools demonstrate not only the early development of fishing industries but also the sophisticated understanding of materials and tool use long before the advent of metalworking. The Cromer coast of Norfolk is renowned for its prehistoric heritage. Its eroding cliffs frequently reveal artefacts and fossils from ancient landscapes buried beneath layers of glacial and marine deposits. Finds from this region have included Mesolithic flints, animal bones, and wooden structures from submerged forests-making it one of Britain’s most important archaeological coastal sites. This particular bone tool was likely used by communities who lived near the ancient coastline, relying heavily on the sea for food and trade. Material Composition and Construction. This tool was carefully fashioned from animal bone, likely sourced from a large mammal such as red deer, aurochs, or wild cattle-species that were common in Mesolithic and Neolithic Britain. Bone was a favoured material for fine tools due to its durability, workability, and smooth finish once polished. The maker would have first shaped the bone blank through abrasion, grinding, and carving, gradually refining it to a slender, pointed, and smoothed form suitable for threading fibres. Under magnification, minute surface polish and wear marks are visible, consistent with contact against fibres or organic materials. The bone has developed a rich cream to honey-brown patina, a natural mineralisation process that occurs over millennia in coastal sediments. This colouring, along with its smooth texture, attests to its great age and authenticity. Function and Use in Prehistoric Life. Net making tools of this kind were indispensable in early fishing and trapping techniques. They were used to guide and tighten cords, repair netting, or form consistent loops in woven nets-crucial for creating durable fishing gear. Nets allowed Mesolithic and Neolithic communities to efficiently harvest fish and shellfish from rivers, lakes, and coastal shallows, providing a stable and renewable source of protein. In addition to fishing, similar tools were employed in textile production, basket weaving, and ropework, highlighting the multifunctional role of bone implements in prehistoric life. The creation of these tools required deep knowledge of both material properties and craftsmanship-skills passed down through generations within small, skilled communities. The transition from the Mesolithic to Neolithic marks a key moment in human history, where traditional hunting technologies like bone tools overlapped with newer agricultural and domestic innovations. This artefact embodies that pivotal moment, serving as both a tool of survival and a testament to the evolving ingenuity of early Britons. Recovered from Cromer Beach, Norfolk, this artefact originates from one of the most archaeologically significant coastal zones in Britain. The Cromer Forest Bed and nearby deposits have yielded numerous prehistoric remains, from mammoth bones to early human artefacts. The coastal sediments have preserved organic materials like bone exceptionally well, allowing remarkable objects such as this net-making tool to survive intact for millennia. Its discovery adds to our understanding of how early coastal peoples adapted to changing environments and harnessed natural resources with remarkable skill. As a Mesolithic-Neolithic transitional artefact, it bridges two defining periods of prehistory, representing one of the earliest forms of specialised fishing technology in Britain. Each artefact is authenticated and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, confirming its identification, provenance, and cultural attribution. This is a museum-grade specimen of considerable rarity and educational value, ideal for collectors, historians, and anyone fascinated by the deep history of human craftsmanship. Artefact Type: Bone Net Making Tool. Cultural Period: Mesolithic to Early Neolithic c. Material: Animal Bone (likely Deer or Bovine origin). Function: Net making, weaving, or cordage tool for fishing. Origin: Cromer Beach, Norfolk, England. Condition: Excellent; polished surface with natural patina and visible wear. Authenticity: 100% genuine artefact – Certificate of Authenticity included.
