FAQs

Tunbridge ware is a form of decorative woodwork craft, originating in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, characterised by intricate mosaic tesserae inlays made from naturally coloured woods.

Craftsmen built these items using thin strips of varied naturally coloured hardwoods glued into geometric blocks, which were sliced thinly to create repeating mosaic veneer patterns applied to wooden forms with textile bindings.

Authentic 19th-century Tunbridge ware features fine end-grain wooden mosaic veneers without painted details, showing minor variations in natural wood tone, precise geometric alignment, and period-appropriate textile or velvet trim.

Display the item upright on a bookshelf, inside a glass cloche on a sideboard, or alongside decorative desktop accessories to highlight its intricate craftsmanship.

Dust the surface gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding water, chemical cleaners, and direct sunlight to prevent veneer lifting or fading of the wood and velvet.
