The Lignum Aureum Art

Ancient wood meets
eternal gold.

In our Clerkenwell workshop, each Lignum Aureum is born of a unique billet of wood — selected after years of patient ageing, then turned, oiled and inlaid entirely by hand. The metalwork that frames it is cast, hammered and brushed by a single artisan, from start to finish.

We work only with woods from felled, reclaimed or recycled trees, in partnership with FSC-certified custodians. Each piece is designed in a single example. There will never be a second.

Nothing equals wearing a piece no one else can ever wear.
