Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 19TH CENTURY:
Fine screw threads cut into the turned wood: careful nineteenth-century lathe work.
End-grain growth rings on the lid: turned from a solid branch or billet.
Warm honey tone and softened edges: many years of handling and polish.
Gentle out-of-round shrinkage: natural movement of old seasoned wood across the grain.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This 19th-century treen collection comprises two sycamore jars with fitted covers, fashioned in the Victorian country style. The turned sycamore timber displays a warm brown colour with natural grain patterns, a smooth polished finish, and a tiny chip on the larger cover. The larger jar measures 14 cm in height and 7 cm in diameter, while the smaller matching vessel nestles inside with a stepped rim profile and distinctive turned shape. Both pieces are suited for display on a sideboard top within a rustic farmhouse interior. They function as a decorative treen container set, bringing antique character to domestic spaces without requiring permanent installation.

FAQs

Treenware refers to small functional household items crafted entirely from wood, predominantly turned on a lathe during the 18th and 19th centuries before the widespread availability of plastic or metal mass production.

Craftsmen commonly selected dense hardwoods such as sycamore, boxwood, beech, and fruitwoods due to their close grain structures, durability, and smooth finish when turned.

Authentic period pieces feature minor asymmetry from lathe operation, subtle shrinkage across the grain over time, and a warm natural patina with visible age-related surface wear.

These pieces function as sculptural accents when grouped on open shelving, sideboards, or mantelpieces, bringing organic texture and historical context into modern design schemes.

Keep wooden objects away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent cracking. Clean with a dry cloth and apply a thin layer of natural beeswax polish periodically to preserve the patina.
