Period19th century

This nineteenth-century treen folk art knitting sheath is shaped from warm honey-brown timber with a rich, aged patina. The curved body bears carved initials reading 'AH CB' alongside geometric and linear notched detailing around the base of the blade section, while the narrow handle displays spiral turning ridges running down to the pommel. It measures 29cm by 5.5cm by 2cm and weighs 60.80 grams. In a modern interior, this functional antique serves as a tactile display object on a wooden mantelpiece, side table or bookshelf cabinet. It brings traditional hand-carved character to a living room shelf or a study desk alongside other small folk art curiosities and natural wood accessories.
