Antique early 1900s wood bas relief
This unique antique bas-relief was hand carved in France in the early 20th century and depicts an idyllic rustic hunting scene featuring a fox and two ducks.

After more than a century, the relief remains in good antique condition while showing various authentic signs of age and use.

Antique 30s PTT bag
This rugged leather bag was issued by the French postal service, the PTT (Postes, Télégraphes et Téléphones), in the 1930s. Designed for practical everyday use, it features a spacious main compartment and a smaller front compartment, providing ample room for documents and personal belongings. Multiple sturdy leather straps give the bag its distinctive utilitarian appearance and reflect its original purpose as a working bag.
With its generous size and practical layout, the bag would make an excellent everyday companion, offering enough space for a small laptop, tablet, books, or other essentials. Its authentic postal-service design and beautifully aged leather also make it an appealing piece for collectors of vintage military, postal, and utilitarian items.
After almost a century, the bag remains in worn vintage condition and shows authentic signs of age and use. The leather has developed a rich natural patina over the decades, adding considerably to its character and charm. There are small stitch repairs to both corners underneath the front flap, reflecting the bag’s long history of practical use.
The leather has become somewhat dry and brittle with age, but it remains surprisingly strong and flexible. It should therefore be handled with the care appropriate for a nearly century old leather item. The leather has been treated with leather grease and antique wax to nourish and condition it.
