Sven The Merchant (STM)

STM is a company in the business of making replica items for living historians, historical re-enactors, geeks, nerds and larpers, based on extant remains, depictions or description in historical texts.

Items include: arms, armour, arrows and accouterments, leatherwork, furniture.

STM also runs a limited number of workshops so that people can learn the skills and make their own replica items (i.e. its cheaper) and you learn the skills to make more, and hopefully pass on the skills to others.

And if we can’t make it or source it, we know, and happily refer you to those that can.

Any new orders for furniture, especially chest now have a wait of 4 to 6 months.

Sven.

Historic Viking Replicas Vol 1

$24.95

FREE POSTAGE AND HANDLING (AUSTRALIA ONLY)

The Vikings originated in Scandinavia, in countries now known as Norway, Denmark and Sweden. The Viking period covered from about the sack of Lindisfarne 793 CE to The Battle of Hastings 1066 CE.

Our knowledge of the Vikings is hampered by the lack of recorded history. Archaeological finds are being revisited and there are still more being made, adding to our knowledge.

The Viking artefacts provide an excellent opportunity to learn how their furniture, equipment and accoutrements were made, used, and function, as well as a starting point for learning about their culture and time in history.

This volume contains a collection of knowledge amassed over 30 years in the pursuit of a better historical presentation. It sets out the why’s and wherefores, and highlights the traps and pitfalls for the unwary, so that you the reader can start or continue on the journey to a more accurate presentation for the purpose of living history, re-enactment, a display in a museum or just an interest of history.
