Antique 19th century Victorian coffin handles
These iron handles were once mounted on actual coffins and got dug up with the excavation of old grave sites. Decorated with skulls and crossbones they have this gothic design which makes them very characteristic!
After being under the ground for more than a century the iron oxidiced and shows a lovely patina that only adds more crude charm to them.
These decorative pieces would be perfect to display into your cabinet of curiosities but they would also make unique handles to mount on your cabinet or drawers!
All five handles have been cleaned and treated with antique wax to give the surface a protective layer and a subtle glossy finish. Five of them still hinge properly, sadly one is stuck due to all the rust that built up under the ground.

Antique early 19th century whaling harpoon
No, this is no orc spear or some other movie prop but you might consider this an as cruel device.
This crude tool actually is a real whaling harpoon, used in the early 1800’s!
Although I hope we all agree that hunting these majestic creatures is a horrible occasion, the whaling industry has been very important to the European history and economy. Back then the oil that was obtained from whales was used to produce many everyday products such as lamp oil, candles, and soap and therefor was essential. Sadly overhunting the arctic seas for centuries has been devastating to the populations of many whale species. Because of its dark past, mixed vibes remain attached to this rare relic though I still consider it a true piece of history that comes with loads of adventurous tales!
It was hand-wrought and forged in iron with a cone to attach a wooden handle.
This relic would be an unique piece to add to your whaling collection or cabinet of curiosities!
After almost two centuries the harpoon remains in worn condition and shows an oxidised patina.
After sanding off the coarse rust the iron tool has been treated with varnish to give the surface a protective layer and a subtle glossy finish.
