Vampire hunting tools, such as those featured in this small but exceptional collection, occupy a unique position between artifact and allegory. Produced primarily from the mid-19th to early 20th century, these objects were conceived as serious instruments of supernatural defense.

The collection includes finely crafted wooden stakes, sculptural hammers,  stake swords, and daggers that incorporate religious or mythological iconography. Some are inlaid with crosses or embellished with gilt bronze dragons, while others feature figures of saints, angels, or classical motifs. Created by dedicated artisans, these tools are not novelty items.   Each piece combines artistic elegance with functional purpose.  From their balanced proportions to their richly symbolic designs, these objects reveal a reverence for both the threat they were meant to counter and the broader cultural tensions of their time.

Today, vampire slaying implements continue to captivate, raising timeless questions about mortality, faith, and the boundaries of belief, thus making them compelling additions to any collection.
