TRADITIONAL RODS
Angling Antiques are also experts in traditional rods crafted from greenheart, bamboo and cane.
These charming items, at the epicentre of the fisherman's armoury, represent the pinnacle of the tackle maker's art. Yet until recent times rods were a largely neglected area of the collector's market.
Sadly, the historical neglect of this important area has meant that fine quality pieces are becoming notably rare. However despite the ravages of time, a fast rising market makes this area an ideal investor's subject where classic pieces remain surprisingly well priced.
CASED SPECIMENS
A hand-carved Fochabes Salmon, or a classic Cooper Pike in a splendid bow fronted case makes a fine addition to any antique fishing collection and adds splendid period style to the traditional home or hostelry.
Angling Antiques specialise in mounted works by the Country's leading studios and are always happy to travel throughout the UK to purchase quality examples.
ANGLING ART
Works by true masters like Roland Knight, Henry Rolfe, John Russell and Chris Sharpe capture the majesty of the leaping salmon or the murderous intent of the pike with the special empathy of the dedicated fisher. Great angling art is a scarce commodity, however Angling Antiques is renown for finding the finest examples for its clients.
