FAQs

Tunbridgeware refers to a specific type of woodenware decorated with mosaic woodwork, produced primarily in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Items are crafted from various native and exotic woods such as rosewood, mahogany, and walnut, assembled using thousands of tiny individually coloured wood blocks to form a pictorial mosaic.

Authentic pieces feature extremely fine geometric or pictorial tesserae work, often accompanied by a characteristic manufacturers label on the underside, with natural timber ageing and beeswax patination.

Place the piece on a plain surface such as a console table or bookshelf to allow the intricate mosaic detail to serve as a focal point without visual clutter.

Keep the object away from direct sunlight and sudden humidity changes to prevent the wood from drying out, and dust gently with a dry, soft lint-free cloth.
