Since the beginning of modern civilisation Aquilaria trees have been cultivated notably for their distinct, rich aromatic properties – as well as their skincare and medicinal benefits. Whilst profoundly recognised for the unique olfactory properties, intoxicating consumers in an instant, uniquely described by all who are fortunate to have experienced the rich nuanced tones.
Oud wood can be relished in innumerable ways, commonly burnt as incense, which has been a practice of Sultan’s when inviting the most esteemed guests into their homes. Though, if you are searching for a truly unique figure piece in your home you may be attracted to owning a distinct piece, unlike any other, in your home. As one of the finest representatives of ancient culture, particularly in the East, Oud wood is a great way to connect with our history.
No piece of Oud wood is the same
The nature of Oud wood production, following age-old methods passed down the generations by the most skilled Artisans of the Sylhet region of Bangladesh, means that no piece is forged from the Aquilaria tree the same.
The rarity of this precious resource means that it is of great importance that each segment is preserved. Generally only small select pieces pass the rigorous inspection of the expert craftspeople in Sylhet. Rarer still is a large section of Oud wood discovered and etched from the heart of the tree. Oud wood sculptures are unique to other models as their design was determined by nature, rather than an artist’s mind, ensuring every detail of the sculpture is preserved.
A distinct method to instil class and culture into a home with a unique piece. Which, similarly to Oud oil, inspires varied emotions in those that perceive it. The method of extracting Agarwood is always painstakingly slow, ensuring that every cut is carefully calculated to retrieve every chip, and this is of greatest importance when revealing a beautiful sculpture.
A unique gift beyond any other
Oud wood sculptures make the perfect gift, particularly for special occasions such as weddings, birthdays and housewarming. Unique to gifts of any other nature, the sculpture is as unique as your particular relationship with your loved one, the perfect representation of individuality.
The centrepiece of any home, which has preserved its value for centuries already. As fads change and the decor of our homes varies, the culture and symbolism of Oud wood stands the test of time. Culture that makes us all feel more connected to our history and transcends the typical values of commodities. Oud wood sculptures, though beautiful, are more than pieces of art.
