FAQs

Faux bois, meaning false wood in French, is an artistic technique where materials like terracotta, concrete, or metal are sculpted to imitate the texture and appearance of natural wood.

Traditional faux bois pieces are typically crafted from moulded terracotta, reinforced concrete, or lime mortar over a wire armature, often finished with natural oxides to simulate weathered bark.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit heavy patina, natural weathering, hand-modelled botanical details, and signs of age such as moss growth, crazing, or minor historical repairs.

Faux bois items bring organic texture to a room and can be used as interior plant stands or sculptural accents, pairing well with minimalist modern furniture or maximalist botanical displays.

To preserve antique terracotta and faux bois items, protect them from severe frost during winter months by moving them indoors or under cover, and clean gently using soft brushes without harsh chemicals.
