Kingdom Armory Reliquarium Collection: Science and Religion - Cross and Blade

Dave Rydbom has a killer style, and his Reliquarium Collection (much like his Heritage Collection) focuses on sourcing awesome pieces from the past and breathing new life into them. Whether it's vintage glasswork, lab equipment, meat cleavers or rosary beads, Dave turns the mundane into the extraordinary! This piece from his "Science and Religion" series features a conical separatory funnel perched on a Bunsen burner. Within hangs a vintage scalpel restored and refinished with textured details and two tone satin etched filagree. The scalpel is suspended from a vintage crucifix (sourced from France). The Science and Religion series takes sourced lab equipment sourced from the US and Russia. Dave then refinishes each piece into a piece of art with a real story behind, mixing two of the greatest forces of human life that are often in competition with one another.
