FAQs

Treen refers to small, functional or decorative wooden household objects made before the widespread use of plastics. While produced for centuries, finely turned and carved treen items reached the height of popularity during the Victorian era.

Antique needle cases were fashioned from various dense woods and natural materials, including boxwood, fruitwood, ivory, bone, and coquilla nut, which is the hard-shelled fruit of the Attalea piassava palm.

Authentic pieces exhibit the natural grain, characteristic dark brown hue, and dense cellular structure peculiar to coquilla nuts. They are typically hand-carved or lathe-turned with high detail, displaying natural ageing and patina rather than modern resin replication.

These small items can be displayed on bookshelves, inside glass-fronted cabinets, or on small side tables as curated objects of curiosity, often grouped with other antique treen or sewing implements.

Preserve wooden and nut artefacts by keeping them away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature fluctuations, and high humidity. Gentle dusting with a dry, soft cloth is usually sufficient; avoid harsh chemical polishes.
