Inheriting items from family members is usually how many of us come to own vintage and antique items from past eras. If you have in your possession masonic regalia it is likely that your family member was a member of the freemasons. All items generally have varying histories or stories associated with them, so consider sending them to us for an appraisal by our network of industry experts. As a result, we can highlight the rich and exciting life that those pieces of masonic regalia once lived.
The Freemasons are one of the most widely known and mysterious organisations in the world, because of their love of symbolism of the past and tradition. The fraternity is hundreds of years old, with the earliest reference to them being made somewhere between 1390 and 1425 in the Regius Poem. The first Grand Lodge was founded in London in June 1717 and started the first real modern surge into the public consciousness. Masonic Regalia are items of clothing or accessories that Masons wear, always when attending a meeting, and sometimes in public during special events. This regalia is very important in Masonry, as not only does everything a person wears hold symbolism, but also denotes a person's rank within the organisation and their role. There is a large amount of this regalia, and not all of it is worn all the time, some is used for private functions, other for public, some are used during official business.
The symbolism associated with the Freemasons has generated much interest over the years; masonic regalia symbols include the All-Seeing Eye, the Blazing Star and - perhaps the most important - the Square and Compasses. These symbols and others can be found on various items, such as rings, pendants, cufflinks and medals, marking the owner's membership with the organisation. Vintage and antique examples of Masonic regalia are available on the collectors' market, coveted for their craftsmanship as well as the intriguing history surrounding them. The use of many different construction methods when making masonic regalia such as precious metals and jewels naturally add instant value to the item itself.
