Fossilised Oak from the Marshes – 2 800 yearsIntense Black & Silvery Highlights

From millennia-old European marshes, this rare and precious oak speaks of a distant age when ancient forests were engulfed by the waters. Slowly submerged and sealed within peat, shielded from air and light, it began a silent metamorphosis. Over twenty-eight centuries, water and minerals have compacted its substance and transformed its grain, standing between wood and stone. Today, the 2,800-year-old fossilised oak from the marshes reveals an exceptional depth of colour, an intense black, lifted by smoky undertones and subtle highlights. A natural relic of timeless beauty.
