FAQs

Inuit carving has a rich history rooted in nomadic survival, traditionally utilizing soapstone, bone, and antler to create utilitarian objects, spiritual amulets, and representations of Arctic wildlife.

Traditional materials include soapstone, serpentine, argillite, bone, ivory, and antler, selected for their workability and availability in the northern landscape.

Authentic vintage pieces often display tool marks, natural stone variations, polished surfaces achieved through hand rubbing, and sometimes signature engravings or community totem numbers.

These organic forms integrate well into minimalist, rustic, or eclectic spaces when displayed on bookshelves, mantelpieces, or coffee tables where their texture and craftsmanship can be appreciated up close.

Preserve soapstone by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and occasionally applying neutral mineral oil to enhance the natural lustre and prevent the stone from drying out.
