FAQs

Gothic religious wood carvings from the 15th century typically feature devotional imagery, heavy drapery, elongated proportions, and expressive facial details, often executed in local hardwoods like oak or lime.

Craftsmen primarily utilised dense native hardwoods, carving figures using hand gouges, chisels, and adzes. Many carvings were originally polychromed or gilded, though centuries of wear often leave the exposed bare timber.

Authentic period carvings display irregular hand-tool marks, natural wood shrinkage along the grain, deep oxidisation in crevices, and authentic signs of historical insect activity or age-related surface cracking.

A medieval carving functions as a strong focal point when placed on a minimalist sideboard, console table, or within a tailored library setting, creating contrast against clean lines and contemporary textures.

Keep the wood in a climate-controlled environment away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent cracking. Dust gently using a soft brush and apply a neutral microcrystalline wax sparingly if protection is required.
