A More Sustainable Choice
A More Sustainable Choice
Choosing antique and reclaimed furniture is one of the most sustainable ways to furnish a home.
Older furniture was often built using solid timber and traditional craftsmanship designed to last for generations, rather than a few years.
By giving these pieces a new home, you help reduce demand for mass-produced furniture while keeping beautiful, characterful items in circulation for years to come.

Description
Crafted from a dense, heavy hardwood (likely cocoa wood or lignum vitae), this truncheon is designed for durability and balance. It features a smooth, ergonomic handle that tapers out to a weighted bulbous end, typical of British-style police batons from the 20th century.
The wood has a deep, rich dark-brown-to-black stain with a lustrous polished finish that highlights the subtle grain beneath. Its compact 31cm length suggests it may have been a pocket-sized version or a special duty baton. This is a substantial, well-weighted piece that carries a real sense of authority and history.
Condition
The truncheon is in good vintage condition with signs of functional age:
-
Surface: The finish shows light scuffs, historic scratches, and minor surface pitting consistent with its age and use (see detail photos).
-
Ends: There is some visible finish wear and smoothing to both the handle base and the striking end, revealing the natural wood grain beneath.
-
Build: Structurally perfect—solid, heavy, and without any cracks or splits to the main body.
Dimensions
-
Length: 31 cm
NOTE: This is a vintage collectible intended for historical display. Standard parcel shipping is available.
