Horns

Abbeyhorn hand carved shoehorns are carved from Oxen horn. Each horn is uniquely different due to its color and texture. The process requires considerable skill of the horn worker from the first cut of the horn to ensure that the resultant shoehorn becomes a much-cherished item. Therefore the carver must work with the horn while carving to bring out the special quality of each, and no two are exactly alike.

We have received a reorder of these beautiful shoehorns plus a few new items. The Stag shoehorn features a handle made of stag antler for a solid grip. The dauber brushes are carved from bone and come in two color bristles. They’re excellent for applying polish to those hard to reach areas. And lastly this handsome brush with inlaid horn is ideal for shining shoes or for use as a clothes brush.

You wear quality shoes why shouldn’t you have quality accessories to go along with them?

Long Horn $105 – 18 inches

Stag Handle $120 – 16 inches

Medium Horn $70 – 12 inches

Small Horn $35 – 7.5 inches

Daubers $15 Brush $90 6.5 inches

*No animals are ever killed solely for the horn; they are a by-product of the meat industry.
