FAQs

Treen refers to small, functional or decorative wooden household objects made before the mass-production era, typically turned on a lathe from dense hardwoods like yew, box, or fruitwood.

Master salts were predominantly turned on a pole lathe from seasoned native hardwoods such as yew, maple, and boxwood, utilising traditional woodturning and hollowing techniques.

Authentic pieces exhibit tool marks from lathe turning, dense oxidisation, characteristic shrinkage distortion, and a dry patina developed through centuries of handling and natural waxing.

Antique treen provides textural contrast and warmth, working effectively when displayed in groups on sideboards, open shelving, or tables to introduce tactile history into minimalist or traditional spaces.

Preservation requires keeping wooden items away from direct sunlight and central heating to prevent splitting. Cleaning should be done strictly with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding water and harsh chemical polishes.
