Drinking from a Horn Through the Ages
Drinking horns are one of the oldest types of drinking vessels, with their use documented since antiquity across various cultures, from the Thracians and Scythians to Germanic tribes and the Vikings. In medieval Europe, horns were a symbol of abundance and social status. However, their conical shape had one practical disadvantage – they couldn't simply be placed on a table. This encouraged revellers to drink continuously and fostered the convivial atmosphere of feasts. While historically horns were rested in one's lap or handed to servants, today's history enthusiasts can enjoy the convenience of this forged stand, which is a modern solution to this age-old "problem".
Care and Maintenance
To ensure your stand serves you for as long as possible, we recommend following a few simple guidelines. Protect it from prolonged exposure to moisture. If a drink is spilt on it, wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the protective surface layer. When storing it, keep it in a dry place.
What to Look Out For
Please remember that this is a handmade product, and therefore individual pieces may vary slightly in dimensions, weight, and the details of their finish. These minor variations are not a defect but rather proof of authentic craftsmanship. The stand is not designed to withstand high temperatures – do not place it in a fire or on a hot stove. It is intended solely for holding drinking horns; do not use it as a holder for heavy objects.
