MACAU'S SWORD DESIGNER
One of Macau's most accomplished artists, Antonio Conceição Júnior (aka Antonio
Cejunior) custom-designs blades (
www.arscives.com/bladesign
)
inspired by his city,
mythology and the modern world.
The charismatic Antonio has designed Eastern and Western swords, as well as hy-
brids such as one featuring a Western-style blade with a guard inspired by the Harley
Davidson wheel. Antonio does not manufacture the swords himself, but he will recom-
mend North American bladesmiths. Interested parties should email Antonio at anto-
nio.cejunior@gmail.com. Expect about two weeks for the design and a designer's fee
of US$3000.
Formerly a director of the Museum of Macau, Antonio's repertoire spans fashion,
jewellery, book covers and stamps for Macau.
