Lucky Grouse Foot Brooch ‘Deer Antlers’
$29.95Originating from Scottish folklore, the lucky grouse foot brooch is believed to bring good fortune. Popularised during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, these talismans were traditionally worn to promote success in hunting and serve as symbols of good luck. In a contemporary context, the lucky grouse foot brooch has transitioned from a functional hunting talisman into a highly collectable piece of vintage fashion and macabre art. Contemporary folk magick and occult enthusiasts often view the brooch as a powerful protective amulet, for its sharp, claw-like appearance is seen as a way to scratch away bad luck, ill will, or negative spirits. This vintage brooch features a preserved grouse foot, and an amber-coloured gemstone, possibly Citrine, set within a deer’s head and antlers motif. Measuring 7.5cm in length, 3cm in width, and 2cm in depth, it features a C-clasp enclosure and a safety chain, both in excellent working condition. Only one is available.

Antique Horn Brooch ‘Butterfly’
$125.00Carved horn jewellery achieved significant popularity during the Art Nouveau era, serving as a deliberate response to the mass production characteristic of the Industrial Revolution. These pieces emphasized the artisan's craftsmanship rather than the intrinsic value of the material, resulting in each item being a unique work of art. This antique Art Nouveau brooch features a meticulously hand-carved horn insect, rendered in the form of a butterfly. The piece may be attributed to either Elisabeth Bonte (1897-1990) or Georges Pierie (1873-1943), both recognised for their contributions to the period. Although unsigned, the intricate carving demonstrates exceptional artistry. The brass knuckle fitting and C-clasp on the reverse remain functional and well-preserved. Measuring an impressive 10.5cm in length, 2.5cm at its widest point, and 1cm in depth, this rare example represents a distinguished addition to a specialised collection. Only one is available. Specifications Description: Horn Brooch Origin: Unknown Period: Art Nouveau, 1890 – 1910 Condition: Excellent Closure Type: C-clasp Length: H10.5cm x W2.5cm, approximately PLEASE NOTE Our antique and vintage collections are second-hand items.

Porcupine Quills
Price range: $4.95 through $12.95Porcupine quills are valued in ritual practice for their symbolic qualities of protection and defense. As the porcupine's natural shield, quills represent the ability to establish strong boundaries and ward off negative energies. Their inclusion in mojo bags or spell jars serves as a symbolic barrier against psychic attacks or harmful influences. Because the quill points are sharp, practitioners are reminded to exercise caution, reinforcing the theme of mindful self-protection. Practitioners may position quills near doorways or windows to deter unwanted spirits or negative influences from entering a space. Quills are occasionally bound into a cross shape to serve as protective talismans. Their sharp and sturdy points make them suitable as styluses for inscribing symbols and intentions into candle wax during candle magic. Cleaned quills can also serve as pens for writing spells, petitions, or protective scripts, particularly when used with ritual inks such as Dragon's Blood. Sold individually, or as a group of three, and measuring between 10cm and 12cm, these porcupine quills may also serve as symbolic guardians, representing strength through gentleness. Their use can remind practitioners that vulnerability and openness are compatible with possessing the means for self-defence. Specifications Description: Porcupine Quills Material: Natural Porcupine Quills Measurements: between 10cm and 12cm PLEASE NOTE: Due to the raw nature of the quills, edges may be sharp; caution is recommended when handling. Natural variations in each are natural, and all measurements are approximate. PRICE GUIDE ONE Porcupine Quill $4.95 THREE Porcupine Quills $12.95

This vintage rabbit’s foot measures 5cm in length, 2cm in width, and 1.5cm in depth. In very good condition, it remains intact in its original setting and is accompanied by a ball chain.
