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.

A nag rake is a wide, hand-operated agricultural tool designed in the nineteenth century to gather cut hay and straw into windrows during harvest.

Traditional hay rakes were constructed predominantly from flexible, durable hardwoods such as ash and willow, incorporating split timber shafts and either wooden pegs or iron tines.

Authentic period rakes feature hand-clift wood components, asymmetrical spacing on hand-forged tines, and smooth wear patterns from historical manual use.

Large agricultural implements can be mounted as sculptural wall art in entryways, boot rooms, or open-plan dining spaces to add texture and historical interest.

Keep the timber in a climate-controlled environment, apply microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the wood, and treat metal parts with light oil to prevent corrosion.
