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

A term figure is a sculpted architectural element or furniture mount consisting of a human bust or torso tapering into a pedestal or scroll shape. Originating in classical antiquity and widely revived during the Renaissance and Baroque eras, these carvings were traditionally used to decorate pilasters, furniture legs, and chimneypieces.

Historically, term figures were hand-carved from dense, fine-grained hardwoods such as walnut, oak, mahogany, or lime wood. These timbers allowed craftsmen to achieve intricate details while maintaining structural strength.

Authentic antique carvings display subtle irregularities from hand-held chisels and gouges rather than machine precision. Original pieces also show natural wear patterns, shrinkage cracks aligned with the wood grain, and a deep patina created by centuries of wax, handling, and oxidisation.

Architectural term figures can be displayed on a modern bookshelf or mantelpiece as standalone sculptural art. Alternatively, mounting the piece on a wall within a gallery arrangement creates a tactile focal point alongside flat art prints.

Dust the carving regularly using a soft, dry bristle brush to clean recessed details without scratching the surface. Apply a high-grade beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to preserve the timber and avoid exposing the object to direct sunlight or high humidity.
