Foëne Or Wrought-iron Fishing Harpoon, 19th-century French Folk Craft

Foëne, or wrought-iron fishing harpoon—a 19th-century French folk craft

A true testament to the past, this wrought-iron harpoon, known as a “Foëne,” is a product of 19th-century French folk craftsmanship, used for fishing in ponds and rivers in Charente-Maritime.

This fishing tool could be used to catch certain species such as bass, carp, and pike; fishermen of that era fished in shallow rivers dotted with rocks.

This Foëne has served its purpose well; today, it is a collector’s item representing 19th-century folk art and fishing.

Fast and careful shipping to France, Europe, and worldwide.
