FAQs

Treen refers to small, functional or decorative wooden objects made by hand, often turned on a lathe, dating from the early periods up to the 19th century.

Treen objects were typically fashioned from dense hardwoods such as boxwood, lignum vitae, maple, oak, and fruitwoods like cherry or plum to withstand detailed turning and carving.

Authenticity is determined by tool marks characteristic of hand-turning, patination developed from handling over centuries, natural shrinkage cracks, and the choice of traditional timber species.

Antique treen adds organic warmth and historical texture when displayed on bookshelves, side tables, or mantels, contrasting well with modern minimalist furnishings.

Preserve antique treen by keeping it away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity, occasionally treating the surface with microcrystalline wax to maintain the patina without damaging the wood.
