Old Man Tree Decor 50x13x6cm

A carved wooden decoration with the quiet presence of an old face in the grain. Made from Jempinis wood in Indonesia, it has a storied, textured feeling, as if a fragment of woodland has found its place indoors.

What the carving brings

• The old man face gives the piece a watchful, folk-art character, gentle rather than theatrical.
• Natural wood grain keeps the surface warm and earthy, with small variations that belong to the material.
• The trunk-like form adds depth.
• It suits a hallway, reading corner, garden room or sheltered indoor nook where texture matters.
• The expression invites a second look, especially among plants, books or other natural materials.

Carved Jempinis wood

This piece is carved from Jempinis wood, also known as Chinaberry, using trunk offcuts. It keeps a close connection to the tree it came from, with the face emerging from the natural form rather than feeling overly polished.

Placing and caring for it

Keep it indoors and away from prolonged damp. Dust with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid soaking or harsh cleaners, as natural wood responds best to gentle care.

A face from the wood

The ‘man of the wood’ motif has a long place in folk decoration, where human faces are carved into trees, beams and natural forms to suggest memory, age and a quiet relationship with the landscape. Here, that idea is kept simple: an old face, a piece of trunk, and the sense of something observed over time. It works well in homes that favour natural textures and pieces with a little character.

Common questions

Is it suitable for outdoor use?
No outdoor finish is specified, so it is best used in a dry, sheltered interior space.

Will each carving look exactly the same?
Natural wood grain varies from piece to piece, so small differences in tone, markings and surface character are part of the appeal.
