Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

FAQs

Boxwood carving has a rich tradition across Europe, particularly in regions like Germany, France, and the Netherlands, where artisans utilised the dense, fine grain of boxwood to create highly detailed miniature sculptures and figurines.

These pieces are carved from boxwood, a dense hardwood known for its pale colour and tight grain, which allows for intricate detailing. Craftsmen typically used specialised chisels and gouges to hand-carve the figures before finishing them with wax or polish.

Authentic pieces exhibit tool marks consistent with manual carving rather than modern machinery, natural ageing such as a warm patina and surface oxidation, and wear patterns appropriate to their stated age.

These sculptures can be displayed on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or side table, where their fine details and warm tones provide a focal point that contrasts effectively with modern minimalist decor.

Preserve boxwood carvings by keeping them out of direct sunlight and away from rapid temperature or humidity fluctuations. Dust gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid using liquid cleaners or water.
