Handcrafted mango wood, painted in soft white

Made from mango wood, this letter has the natural warmth and grain of timber beneath its painted surface. Mango wood is a fast-growing material and is valued for its rich patterning, so each piece carries subtle differences in tone, line and finish.

Each letter is handcrafted by artisans in Indonesia. Slight variations are part of its individual character, especially in a shabby-chic piece where a time-worn look is part of the charm.

How to style and look after it

Place it on a shelf, dresser, mantelpiece or bedside table, either alone or with other letters from the same range. Keep it indoors, away from prolonged damp, and dust it gently with a soft dry cloth.

Why letters feel so personal

Decorative letters have a long association with identity, from monograms on paper and textiles to carved signage and old wooden type used in printing. In the home, an initial feels intimate without needing to say too much. It can mark a child’s room, a shared surname, a wedding table, or a word chosen simply because it means something to the person who sees it every day.
