Official Prop Replicas
The swords of Tolkien’s world are often more than just weapons – they’re symbols, encapsulating all that their bearers represent. As such, there’s little that a Lord of the Rings fan could want more than Sting, wielded by Frodo and Bilbo, or Glamdring, the famed sword of Gandalf. Both of these, along with Orcrist from The Hobbit, have legendary origins, dating back to the First Age of Middle-earth and the hidden Elven city of Gondolin. The Royal Armouries online shop has the officially licensed replicas for these swords and more, each one coming with a Certificate of Authenticity. And if swords aren’t your thing, why not pick up Gimli’s axe, or the staff of Gandalf the Grey?

Letter Openers
Unfortunately, there’s very few desks out there large enough to accommodate a full-sized replica weapon, but how about a smaller version of your favourite Lord of the Rings sword, complete with a wooden display box? These letter openers can also be used to easily tear open any envelope, so they’re practical to boot.

Hanging Decorations
What Christmas tree could be complete without a touch of Middle-earth? Officially licenced and complete with key details like Frodo’s light of Eärendil, Aragorn’s athelas plant, and Gandalf’s G rune, these Lord of the Rings stocking decorations are a real treat for fans. And there’s also the helmet of Sauron decoration available, should you prefer a bit of Mordor flair.

Helm of King Théoden
This finely detailed helmet is an official replica of the helmet worn by actor Bernard Hill during the filming of Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Since J. R. R. Tolkien was heavily inspired by Anglo-Saxon culture when creating the kingdom of Rohan, the helmet is reminiscent of the famous Sutton Hoo helmet found in Suffolk. Exquisitely rendered in intricate detail, this helmet is crafted from a mix of reinforced polyresin and genuine leather, with moulded details and colouring.

Sting Sword Lamp
Night lights don’t get much cooler than Sting, the famous sword of both Bilbo and Frodo. Hang it on the wall with the accompanying plaque for moody blue lighting or wield it like a torch to feel like an adventuring hobbit.
