Oxford Varsity

Part of the Authentic Models Crossing the Seas collection, honouring the age when vessels crossed the world’s oceans by sail and by oar — captains reading the wind, and calling for the blades when it fell still.

Oxford Varsity takes its name from the oldest rivalry on the water. Since 1829, the Oxford and Cambridge crews have met on the Thames each spring, and the contest has become one of rowing’s enduring rituals.

Victory is measured in years of dawn training, and the winning oar is mounted with pride — a trophy to skill and endurance. This piece honours that tradition, handcrafted from fine wood in the long, elegant lines of a true racing blade. At 2.35 metres it is the longest oar in the range, and its sweep alone is a statement. Nothing overlooked, regardless of scale.

Works well as the centrepiece of a double-height wall or a display built around scale. A standout mover for retailers with the room to let it command attention.
