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.

FAQs

Curling originated in medieval Scotland, where participants slid smooth stones across frozen lochs during winter months. Over centuries, these stones evolved from rough natural boulders into standardised, polished granite discs fitted with metal handles for precision play on ice.

Curling stones are traditionally crafted from dense granite, historically sourced from Scottish locations such as Ailsa Craig or Trefor. The handles are typically made from cast iron, brass, or bronze, often fitted with turned wooden grips.

Authentic antique curling stones display surface wear, minor pitting, or dulling along the running band from contact with ice. They feature unrefined brass or iron handle mounts, visible central bolts underneath, and slight irregularities from hand-shaping.

These heavy granite objects function well as floor sculptures beside a fireplace hearth or as rustic doorstops in entryway spaces. They also add historic texture when placed on lower shelves of a heavy bookcase or console.

Clean the granite surface using a soft cloth moistened with water, avoiding acidic or abrasive chemical cleaners. Wiping metal handles gently removes dust while preserving the existing aged patina without harsh polishing.
