African Porcupine Quills | Authentic Vintage Set of 5 brings an unexpected natural element to collected interiors. Each set includes five genuine porcupine quills selected in assorted lengths, with their naturally graphic cream, brown, and black coloring making them beautiful decorative objects on their own. We love these tucked into an old pottery vessel, layered into a collected tray, or displayed beneath a glass cloche alongside other natural curiosities. Choose from four sizes depending on the scale of your display.
We love the contrast these bring to old pottery, wood, stone, and metal. A few standing casually in a vintage vessel create an interesting sculptural moment, while a group laid across a tray with other collected objects has the feeling of an old natural-history collection. The larger quills are especially striking when you want a little more height and presence.
Because these are genuine natural porcupine quills rather than manufactured decorative pieces, variation is part of their character. Each set of five will be selected within the approximate size range chosen, but individual markings, width, shape, coloration, and condition will naturally differ from the examples photographed.
Style these natural quills inside a collected vessel or alongside other found objects. Explore our Vintage Vases & Vessels collection for one-of-a-kind pottery, antique pots, and vessels to pair with them.
Please Note: Genuine porcupine quills have naturally sharp points and should be handled carefully. Intended for decorative use only and should be kept away from children and pets.
