The Broad Arrow Mark — A Mark of British History

The broad arrow (↗) is one of the most recognisable marks in British history — used for centuries to denote property of the British Crown, government, or military. Its presence on this cabinet suggests it once served in an official British institution, adding a layer of genuine historical provenance and character that no reproduction can replicate. Pieces bearing the broad arrow are increasingly sought after by collectors of British militaria and institutional antiques.
