FAQs

A ceiling boss is a decorative, projecting block of timber positioned at the intersection of ribs in a vaulted ceiling, or used independently as an architectural ornament in historic buildings.

These items were traditionally hand-carved from seasoned English oak using hand chisels and gouges, reflecting the master carpentry techniques of the period.

Authenticity is determined by examining tool marks for hand-carving inconsistencies, natural oxidisation and patina of the wood, grain shrinkage patterns, and historic fixings.

Mounting the piece on a minimalist stand or displaying it directly on a mantelpiece introduces historical texture and tactile interest to modern spaces.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to protect the dry timber surface.
