ABOUT US

...AND OUR PRODUCTS

The Jelling Dragon is a mail order business* that primarily sells to Viking and Early Medieval re-enactors and living history enthusiasts, but our customers also include museums, schools, theatres and followers of the Nordic faith and tradition.

Our online store was first created in 1997 and since then it has undergone many upgrades and transformations. The present version provides the most comprehensive collection of Viking age reproductions to be found anywhere.

The company is owned and managed by Rob Taylor. Rob is a widely travelled and well known re-enactor who is regularly seen at re-enactment events around Europe, both as a warrior and a merchant.

Rob makes some of the leather goods and custom made drinking horns himself, but the Jelling Dragon also operates as an online retail store for the many craftsmen that Rob has met in his 20 years or so on the Viking and Medieval re-enactment scene. These include blacksmiths, armourers, silversmiths, bronze casters, textile workers and wood turners, as well as traditional workshops producing hornware and hand-blown glass.

Our customers include re-enactors, collectors, museums, movie producers, theatre props houses, schools and those just seeking a unique gift.

We only sell products from the finest crafts people in Europe**. Their work is tested for quality, practicability, durability, authenticity and reliability. You can therefore be assured that all our craftwork is...

* The Jelling Dragon is not a regular mail order company. Although many of our products are available "off the shelf" many have to be hand made by skilled craftsmen, and so will take some time to produce if we don't already have them in stock.

** A small number of our products are designed in the UK but produced in the East (Product codes begining with PH, BK, LL and C). These items have been specialy selected for their exceptional quality.
