We photograph each piece in natural light to represent colours as accurately as possible. As natural, hand‑finished items, they may show subtle surface features (e.g., faint polish lines, small scratches or tiny nicks). Please review the photos and videos before purchasing. Any minor features are usually barely noticeable and don’t detract from the beauty of the piece.
