Historical Artifacts

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world

Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

Love the site you linked btw, so much cool stuff on there

It's really fantastic! It feels like half the things I've posted in the past month have been from it.

How much do you reckon the stuff on there costs? It's all so gorgeous

Most of it that has a listed price seems to be between 1,000-10,000 pounds, which is... steep, but not as bad as some antiquities.

Oh you're right! that's actually a bit of a bargain, I was expecting upwards of 10k for sure! I'm subscribed to the salesroom newsletter too so I do love a good bit of antique window-shopping 😂
