FAQs

Curling originated on frozen lochs and ponds in Scotland during the 16th century, initially played with flat-bottomed stones found naturally in riverbeds before being shaped into standardised circular forms.

Authentic vintage curling stones are traditionally crafted from dense Ailsa Craig granite or other regional granites, fitted with metal handles made from brass or iron, often featuring wooden grips.

Authenticity is determined by the specific type of granite used, characteristic tool marks, the weight and dimensions matching historical regulations, and makers stamps or historical provenance associated with Scottish curling ponds.

These dense stone objects function well as heavy decorative floor accents, rustic doorstops, or sculptural display pieces arranged near a fireplace hearth.

Preservation involves dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners to protect the natural stone surface and aged metal components from corrosion.
