We collect unusual antiques so have quite a lot but I think it’s the 1600’s wood cut prints depicting acts of Christian torture.

we have had older things over the years like a roman tooth, an egyptian piece, and many fossils including a mammoth tooth. - Mrs

A copy of Milton’s Paradise Lost from the 18th century. It’s been re-covered, but the pages inside are glorious (if you’re a bookish sort).
