Price History
Description
More than a useful and beautiful decorative object, it is a work of art shaped by nature. The growth rings of the petrified tree create an incomparable aesthetic. Each piece is unique and reveals its own colour palette. Between raw naturalness and extreme sophistication. Product Details • Petrified wood • Sold in packs of 2. Quality Info • Petrified wood, also called “fossilised wood”, embodies timeless elegance by revealing the beauty of nature. • Through a long process of fossilisation, organic wood is impregnated with minerals such as quartz, calcite and jasper.. It transforms over millennia into a work of stone, retaining all the details of its original structure.. • Meticulously quarried and polished by hand, each piece of petrified wood is unique. • Its shades can range from grey to red, including beige, brown or even black.. The colour of the product received is therefore random and can vary from the lightest to the darkest tone.. • To preserve its beauty, keep it away from a window exposed to sunlight and rooms subject to extreme fluctuations in temperature or humidity. Care Advice • 1. Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. • 2. Ban scrubbing sponges and harsh cleaning products. • 3. Handle it with care: even though it is solid, petrified wood can break or crack if dropped or violently impacted. Dimensions. Each piece: • Width: 18cm • Height: 28cm • Depth: 5cm/2"Dimensions and weight of parcel1 parcel • W25 x H19 x D19cm, 4.1kg
Our Stylist Says
I love these small petrified wood bookends for their natural, earthy aesthetic; they add texture and a touch of organic warmth to any shelf or desk. They work particularly well in rustic, bohemian, or modern interiors that incorporate natural materials. For styling, consider pairing them with books with neutral or textured covers to highlight their organic feel, or place them alongside other natural accents like ceramics or greenery for a cohesive look. They’re practical while also serving as a subtle statement piece, making them a versatile addition to both everyday and more curated displays.
