FAQs

Preserve the wood by keeping the item away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations, applying occasional light applications of microcrystalline wax if necessary.

Small treen objects add texture and historical interest when placed on a stack of books, a mantelpiece, or styled within a collectors cabinet alongside other curiosities.

Authenticity is usually determined by examining the tool marks, the natural patina accumulated from handling, the tightness of the lid fit, and the specific ageing characteristics of the timber.

These items were typically turned or carved from dense hardwoods such as boxwood, walnut, burr walnut, fruitwood, and sometimes inlaid with horn, bone, or silver details.

Treen snuff boxes were commonly crafted from various native and exotic woods during the 18th and 19th centuries to hold powdered tobacco, which was consumed by inhaling it through the nose.
