FAQs

A treen snuff spoon is a small hand-carved wooden utensil traditionally used in the 18th and 19th centuries to measure and transfer powdered tobacco from a container.

Treen objects were made from dense domestic hardwoods such as boxwood, fruitwood, walnut, or yew, selected for their fine grain and smooth working qualities.

Authentic treen demonstrates smooth wear from handling, hand-turned or hand-carved irregularities, and a rich surface patination developed over decades of use.

Small treen utensils can be displayed on decorative trays, housed inside glass-topped collector cases, or arranged alongside books on library shelves.

Keep treen away from direct heat and damp environments to prevent splitting, and apply clear beeswax polish occasionally using a soft cloth to preserve the wood finish.
