Welcome to the world of Henry Tuke, the London based luxury brand that specialises in exceptional men’s gifts and accessories.

Henry Tuke was born from a love of the very finest materials and a desire to create beautiful things without cutting corners.

We live by the ideal that ‘Good enough, is simply not good enough’. We are committed to quality in everything we do and are proud of the fact that all of our products are made in Great Britain.

We use the finest artisans and the very best materials, our products are built to last and we hope they become family heirlooms.

Naturally, quality control is built in at every stage of our processes and any product line that does not meet our demanding standards is dropped. The final test being that if the founder does not want it in his house, it does not make it to market. So you can rest assured that we love everything that is in this brochure and we hope you will too.

Champagne sabreDamascus steel and Sterling silver

Hand forged in England out of stainless Damascus steel, the Henry Tuke champagne sabre is precision crafted for perfect balance.

It has been designed solely for sabering champagne bottles and all this entails. With a solid Sterling silver guard, a shagreen grip and pure silver wire detailing, the materials are the finest available. The stand is made out of ancient 2,000 year old Roman oak from the original London docks.

Light in the hand and easy to use, we put our sabre to the ultimate test and took it to Champagne, where we broke the Guinness World Record for speed sabering. Our World Record stands at thirty five bottles in a minute. This breath-taking sabre did all of this without a scratch and is a beautiful piece that needs to be seen to be believed. Due to the unique nature of Damascus steel, each blade has its own personal pattern.

RattlebackBronze

The rattleback or mysterious Celt has puzzled humanity since prehistoric times. They are a curiosity that rotates in a preferred direction and when spun in the other, they become unstable, rattle and counter rotate in the preferred direction.

Originally found in Celtic British graves, science and reasoning could not solve this anomaly. In medieval times, possession of one was enough to get you burnt as a witch and scientists have struggled into the 20th Century to solve them. Now you can own your own and confuse your friends. There is no magic trick, no magnets, just gravity and friction, though few will initially believe you. This is hand cast in solid bronze using the lost wax method and is also available in Sterling silver.

Condom/ Cufflink boxVarious woods

Our condom box is designed to store condoms discretely and stylishly in a beautiful and tactile container. Available in a range of hardwoods, they have an unusual, but effective opening mechanism.

By stroking over and pushing down on the lid, it pops up and drops down on itself without the need for any hinges. Its gentle curves and corner detailing are sanded to an incredibly smooth finish that leaves you wanting to stroke it all the time. It is also great for storing cufflinks or other bits and bobs. It is available in your choice of wood and with bespoke engraving.

Backgammon setEbony and Sterling silver

Our statement backgammon set is a pleasure to play with and a feast for the eyes. Very tactile solid silver pieces marry up with the mirror shine of the varnish to create a very impressive piece either open or closed.

Macassar ebony with its distinctive striped pattern is the perfect backdrop for wafer thin stainless steel detailing. Encased by a luscious varnish to give a seamless playing surface. All set off by the shakers and doubling dice in black walnut. Nearly 3kg of Sterling silver pieces (also available in gold, platinum and bejewelled) complete this fantastic set. No corners have been cut and it takes three weeks just to apply the multitude of varnish layers.

It can be fully customised from board design and materials to bespoke playing pieces and engraving. Want a doubling dice that goes to 1,000? Anything is possible.

FiddlerSilver, gold and platinum

These started life as backgammon pieces, but due to their tactile nature, our founder now always keeps one in his pocket as a fiddler. This has led to requests from others to have one as well.

We make them in solid gold and solid Sterling silver and they can either be high gloss finish or sandblasted matt, which works particularly well with bespoke engraving. Hand cast and finished in England, with our TUKE hallmark. These can also be customised into a variety of metals and finishes including, but not limited to platinum, pink and white gold, embedded diamonds, sapphires and pearls etc. Price is dependent on specification and the design is only hampered by your imagination.
