An astonishing range of small turned or carved wooden items fall into the category called Treen or Woodenware.

In the days before mass production of ceramics, poor homes were equipped with handmade wooden utensils, which are now eagerly sought after by treen or woodenware enthusiasts. Most treen or woodenware available today dates from the 1800´s.

In the past treen or woodenware was considered by many to be a poor relation to furniture and works of art. Although this is no longer true and prices have risen dramatically over the past 30 years, many 1800´s pieces can still be bought at affordable prices. Treen or woodenware from the !600´s and 1700´s fetch higher prices as it has more elaborate carving.
