Then there’s the anchor. One of the most recognised and popular symbols (not to mention tattoos) of all time. The anchor, the brake, the cornerstone, the mainstay, the pillar, the hook. Vintage World’s wooden styled anchor is simple, it’s understated.There are few real-world symbols as recognisable, as daunting, as adversarial, as powerful or as old as the oceans and seas of the world. So it’s only natural a portion of that rich symbolism should rub off onto the objects used to conquer nature’s wild waterways. Vintage World’s curated and selective collection of maritime-themed decor for the home or office (or man-cave, as the case often is) features traditional nautical pieces that throughout history have been integral in man’s admirable, yet foolhardy endeavor to command the seven seas and harness the ocean’s great might.

The lorica segmentata (segmented cuirass) is a type of personal armour used by soldiers of the Roman Empire, consisting of metal strips (“girth hoops” fashioned into circular bands), fastened to internal leather straps. The Latin name was first used in the 16th century; the ancient form is unknown.When one thinks of armour in a general or historic sense one normally conjures images of the style of armour (or armor) worn by History’s King Arthur and his knights of the round table, Galahad, Lancelot and the rest of the warriors of Merlin. The bulky metal, full body suits that were more likely to disable an enemy by blinding them with the sunlight reflecting off the shiny exterior than they were through the accuracy of where the knight pointed his jousting stick. Spare a thought for the poor horses that were taken with carrying these heroes, burdened with weight of the chain mail, broad sword and shield.Think a little harder and one would recall other variants of a soldier’s armour that have been used around the globe from the ancient times of the Greeks and the Spartan Warriors of 300 infamy with their bodices of mounded leather and bronze helmets with plumes of hair tall enough to rival the Mohawks of the 1970’s punk rockers.From the epic battles of the Spartan warriors against the armies of Persia, one would naturally follow the evolution of armour to the next logical (lion’s) pit stop to recall the great Roman gladiators like the legend that is Spartacus or Russel Crowe’s eternal hero, Maximus, battling in a crowded Coliseum for the sport of Caesar. By this stage in our history, technology had advanced far enough that we were able to shape the steels and metals (like nickel, bronze, copper even silver and gold) into forms designed to both protect the wearer and to intimidate the enemy. Angels and Demons are strongly represented in the silhouettes of armour throughout the ages.

The Praetorian Guard was an elite unit of the Imperial Roman Army whose members served as personal bodyguards to the Roman Emperors. During the era of the Roman Republic, the Praetorians served as a small escort force for high-ranking officials such as senators or provincial governors like procurators and also serving as bodyguards for high ranking officers within the Roman legions.“To the victor belong the spoils.” The history of mankind’s evolution from simple but smart, canoe crafting sailor to modern, rocket designing astronaut is littered and fraught with a history of violence, war and survival. It was those who battled hardest and longest and with proven endurance and relative longevity that made it through to fight another day. Survival generally doesn’t happen without one’s head and this is why helmets and other protective head wear has been popular since we first learned to manipulate steel and iron.From heroic Spartan, Leonidas to vengeful gladiator Maximus, from Caesar’s Imperial Roman Guards to Arthur’s Knights of Camelot, Vintage World has a range of war helmets that spans 2500 years, beginning in Ancient Greece and coming right up to the Germany that took the whole world to war twice in the 20th century. The collection is unsurpassed in Australian retail and wholesale industries for both quality and variety.

Dating back from 100 B.C. to 300 A.D. helmets were worn by the main officers of the Ancient Imperial Roman Army. The name ‘Centurion’ derived from each charge consisting of 100 men. Aside from allowing easy identification of Centurion Generals, the plumed helms colour variation specified officer rank and at times depict different units. Generals were also more visible to their men, the added height further suggesting higher command.“To the victor belong the spoils.” The history of mankind’s evolution from simple but smart, canoe crafting sailor to modern rocket designing astronaut is littered and fraught with a history of violence, war and survival.

The sextant is a “doubly reflecting navigation instrument that works by measuring the angular distance between two visible objects” and derives its name from the shape of its frame which, traditionally, is one-sixth of a circle, or in Latin, sextantis/sextãns. Isaac Newton had explored its principles back around the turn of the 17th century, well before the invention of satellites and our ever-loved but over-relied upon GPS (or even electricity itself). For that reason alone, they make an invaluable tool for anyone planning to rewrite the record book and circumnavigate the globe in their handmade, one man canoe!The Royal Crafts range of Sextants are not only beautifully hand-crafted examples of this sailor’s ‘best friend’, they are also a great dinner-party conversation starter. All our sextants are presented in their own custom-made wooden box, making them the perfect gift for anyone that has an interest in the history of navigation, in old-school exploration and discovery, in applied mathematics. Or for someone who simply appreciates having  stunning and intriguing antique-inspired pieces in their collection.

Mail, or chain mail, made of interlocking iron rings, which may be riveted, or welded shut is believed to have been invented in Eastern Europe about 500 BC. Gradually, small additional plates or discs of iron were added to the mail to protect vulnerable areas. Hardened leather and splinted construction were used for arm and leg pieces. A coat of plates was developed, an armour made of large plates sewn inside a textile or leather coat.When one thinks of armour in a general or historic sense one normally conjures images of the style of armour (or armor) worn by History’s King Arthur and his knights of the round table, Galahad, Lancelot and the rest of the warriors of Merlin.
