Rare Set of Three Late 18th Century Masonic / Freemasons Antique Staffs, Including "The All-Seeing Eye"
Couldn't load pickup availability
A rare set of late 18th-century English antique wood staffs, each carved with symbolic Masonic iconography. These ceremonial pieces likely belonged to a lodge or procession, used during rituals or formal gatherings.
One staff features the “All-Seeing Eye” — a powerful emblem of divine watchfulness and enlightenment. The others bear complementary symbols, deeply incised and evocative of Freemasonry’s layered allegories.
The wood is richly patinated, with wear consistent with age and ceremonial use. Together, they offer a rare glimpse into Georgian-era fraternal traditions and esoteric craftsmanship.
A sculptural and symbolic trio, ideal for collectors of Masonic history, ritual artefacts, or antique folk art.
Provenance: England. Late 18th century. Ex-private collection, Yorkshire, England.
Condition - as per the images. Good overall. A further detailed condition report is available upon request.
