ROYAL HANDICRAFT

Satti Street, Roorkee, Uttarakhand

Sailboat or sailing boat is a boat propelled partly or entirely by sails smaller than a sailing ship. Distinctions in what constitutes a sailing boat and ship vary by region and maritime culture.
The most common modern sailboat is the sloop, which features one mast and two sails, typically a Bermuda rigged main and a head sail. This simple configuration is very efficient for sailing into the wind. This beautiful replica of a sloop is handcrafted in real wood with brass highlights on the bow, stern and sides. A wonderful decoration for any home especially a beach house.

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 endeavour to command the seven seas and harness the ocean’s great might.
 Our ship items above all else will present you as a thoughtful friend or associate who has taken time and put some effort into their ‘shipmates’ gift.

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.

Gulls or Seagulls are seabirds. An older name for gulls is mews. Gulls are typically medium to large birds, usually grey or white, often with black markings on the head or wings. They typically have harsh wailing or squawking calls; stout, longish bills; and webbed feet.
Most gulls are ground-nesting carnivores which take live food or scavenge opportunistically. Live food often includes crabs and small fish. Gulls have unhinging jaws which allow them to consume large prey.
This beautiful depiction of a seagull in flight is made of solid Indian rosewood and makes a great decoration on a wall. Group a few together to depict a flock making a great wall decoration.

Originating in ancient Greece, the Corinthian Warrior Helmet typically features a nose guard and eye slits. The helmet was favoured for its protective features and later depictions included stylish flare with an impressive plume.
To the victor belong the spoils. The history of mankinds 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 doesnt happen without ones 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 Caesars Imperial Roman Guards to Arthurs 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. Finely hand-crafted, even the minutest of details has not been overlooked when recreating these hugely popular, attention-grabbing, quality pieces.
Every man has a little prehistoric machismo that evolution hasnt been able to knock entirely out of the gene pool yet, and this is why one can be 100% that a Vintage World, antique-style helmet will always be a welcome and unique gift for any and every man alive today. Game of Thrones
