Viking Age Barrel Padlock – Birka Inspired
Hand-forged iron reproduction based on Viking Age barrel locks unearthed in Birka, Sweden—one of the most important Norse trading centers of the 8th–10th centuries. These locks, discovered in archaeological excavations, used a spring key mechanism to secure chests and doors, safeguarding valuables for merchants and warriors alike. A functional piece of early medieval security inspired by genuine Viking craftsmanship.
“Echoes of the Viking Age, reborn in every craft.”
