FAQs

Tunbridge Ware is a traditional form of inlaid woodwork that originated in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, featuring intricate geometric patterns or pictorial mosaic designs created from thousands of tiny natural wood tesserae.

Craftsmen utilised various un-dyed woods to achieve different natural shades, including native timbers such as holly, sycamore, plum, yew, and walnut, glued into blocks before being sliced into thin decorative veneers.

Authentic pieces feature genuine wooden micro-mosaic tesserae rather than painted or printed designs, alongside nineteenth-century construction details, natural timber patination, and visible end-grain wood slices.

A small decorative timber box can be placed atop stacked coffee table books, arranged on a desk tray, or displayed inside a glazed cabinet alongside historical curiosities.

Keep inlaid wooden items in a stable environment away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting, dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying beeswax sparingly.
