FAQs

Mortars and pestles have been used for millennia across cultures for grinding herbs, spices, and medicinal compounds. Wooden examples, often referred to as treen, became particularly common in domestic and apothecary settings from the medieval period onwards.

Antique mortars were crafted from a variety of dense materials including stone, brass, iron, ceramic, and hard woods such as fruitwood, boxwood, and lignum vitae, which could withstand the repetitive impact of grinding.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit tool marks consistent with hand-turning on a pole lathe, natural patination from age and use, surface wear, and shrinkage cracks appropriate for their age.

These pieces can be displayed on open kitchen shelving, kitchen islands, or mantelpieces as sculptural objects that add texture and historical context to contemporary schemes.

Antique treen should be kept away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature fluctuations, and excessive moisture. Treatment with food-safe mineral oil or beeswax occasionally helps prevent the wood from drying out.
