TORTURE COLLAR

870,00 €

Torture collar from the second half of the 18th century.

An interesting object from bygone times that reminds us of the dark past of humanity. Torture devices like this one were popular since the Middle Ages and were used to humiliate, torture, and control convicts and slaves. The collar was placed around a person's neck, preventing normal movement, lying down, and overall comfort. Similar collars were also used on dogs, but without a lock, only with a buckle. In this case, the collar served to protect a dog guarding livestock from potential wolf attacks. Dimensions: 30 x 8 cm Weight: 1.1 kg Considering its age, the collar is excellently preserved, with patina that speaks to its history. It includes a lock, but without a key.

ANTIQUE OIL LAMP

290,00 €

Mid-19th Century Oil Lamp

This intriguing hand-forged oil lamp was in use up until the invention of electricity. Typically, it was filled with rapeseed oil or whale oil. However, since the light produced by such fuels is weak, kerosene was often mixed in to strengthen the flame. Such lamps were mostly used as work lights. In our region, a similar lamp can be found in the Idrija museum, where it is presented as a miner's lamp. Abroad, its use is often associated with weavers, as weaving usually started when there was no more work in the fields and the days began to shorten, making the additional light very welcome. Today, this interesting oil lamp can be an attractive decorative piece, especially because of the rooster decorating the screw used to open the lamp for oil refilling and wick replacement. Of course, the lamp is still functional; just pour in the chosen fuel, and it's ready to light up your dark days and nights. Dimensions: 61 x 14 x 12 cm Weight: 1.5 kg The oil lamp is in excellent condition.

VINTAGE RINGS

16,00 €

Vintage rings made of lucite from the 1960s.

Lucite jewelry began to be produced in the 1940s. Lucite is a high-quality version of acrylic resin, developed by DuPont in 1937. It is valued primarily for its strength, crystal transparency, flexibility, and resistance to UV rays, wind, and water. Therefore, this version of acrylic resin is used mainly in the manufacture of windows, furniture, and of course, in fashion creations. Lucite is naturally crystal clear, but by adding pigments, we obtain colorful versions like the rings presented. Lucite is also known for its durability and adaptability, as well as its scratch resistance, ensuring that you can wear the rings for years and perhaps pass them on to future generations. Rings are always a fun fashion accessory, especially in such exceptional colors that will truly enhance your overall look. Dimensions: approx. 1.5 cm Weight: 4.4 g The rings are in excellent condition. Price is for one.
