Explorers: The Age of Discovery in your collection

In search of the New World

When Christopher Columbus set sail in 1492 or Magellan and Elcano completed the first circumnavigation of the world between 1519 and 1522, they carried more than just bravery: they carried the tools, weapons, and objects that made it possible to conquer the unknown. This collection pays tribute to that golden age of navigation and discovery, bringing together replicas, figures, and accessories inspired by the great explorers, uncharted seas, and life aboard.

Rapiers, cup-hilted rapiers, and early sabers

The armament of the explorer and sailor from the 15th to 17th centuries was as elegant as it was lethal. You will find rapiers with a thrusting blade and simple guard, typical of the nobility and officers of the time; cup-hilted rapiers with their characteristic cup-shaped guard that protected the hand during boarding; and early sabers with a curved blade, the preferred weapon of sailors and privateers who sailed the Atlantic and Pacific. Functional and collectible replicas, with historical finishes faithful to the period.

Navigation tools - Compasses, maps, and spyglasses

Navigation instruments were the true protagonists of the Age of Discovery. In this section, you will find brass compasses with engraved spheres in the style of those used on caravels; antique maps reproduced with period cartographic detail, ideal for decoration or collecting; and brass and wood spyglasses that evoke the command bridges of the great exploratory ships. Functional and decorative pieces that transport you directly to the 16th century.

Accessories - Chests, nautical and pirate objects

No maritime adventure is complete without its accessories. Our selection includes wooden and metal chests with aged hardware, perfect for storing treasures or as a decorative piece; a varied range of nautical and pirate objects such as anchors, ship's wheels, decorative rum bottles, skulls, and boarding accessories; all imbued with the adventurous spirit of the 16th and 17th-century seas.

Figures and miniatures - Ships, brooches, and replicas

For the most detailed collectors, this section brings together miniature ship figures that reproduce caravels, galleons, and ships of the era; brooches and pendants with nautical and explorer motifs, ideal as an accessory or gift; and other miniature replicas that capture the essence of the great maritime adventure.
