The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Presentation oars, also known as trophy oars, were awarded to members of university and collegiate rowing crews to commemorate victory in major regattas or head races. These full-sized or full-blade oars were traditionally hand-painted with the crew members names, weights, coats of arms, and race details.

These oars were typically crafted from solid timber such as spruce or pine, featuring painted blades adorned with hand-gilded lettering and heraldic crests detailing the event and crew roster.

Authentic pieces feature hand-painted calligraphy rather than modern printed decals, original heraldic coats of arms, visible signs of age such as varnish craquelure or paint patination, and specific historical details matching university or club regatta records.

Presentation oars serve as striking architectural wall features when mounted horizontally above a sideboard or lining a hallway or stairwell. They provide character and historical interest when paired with classic leather furniture and rich timber finishes.

Keep painted wooden oars away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking or peeling of the historic paintwork. Dust gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth, avoiding abrasive chemicals or water-based cleaners that could damage the delicate hand-painted calligraphy.
