Relief Carving

Hand-carved wood sculptures: roses, bouquets, hearts, and decorative relief motifs for regional furniture, restoration pieces, or bespoke creations. Discover some pieces below, then also explore carving in the round.

 

The Picardy Rose: a sculpture for a Franco-Australian ceremony

This finely carved rose was made for an inaugural ceremony in April 2012, attended by Mr. Snowdon, Australian Minister for Veterans' Affairs, Mr. Wells, Ambassador of Australia, and several Australian and French citizens. The blue mark on this oak base comes from the impact of a bomb explosion during the war.

 

Carved decoration for regional furniture

Rose carved in bas-relief on a sideboard drawer, as part of the transformation of a family piece of furniture. Finely chiselled petals, supple stems and serrated leaves wind around the brass handle, forming a unique decoration designed for this piece.

 

 

This relief-carved heart was made for the door of a Picardy sideboard known as a traite picarde from Vignacourt.

 

Faithful reproduction of an antique model: the étimier bouquet

Carving of a bouquet of flowers designed for an étimier, a cabinet used to store pewter pots. It is a faithful reproduction of a very old model.

 

Tintin and Snowy carved in oak

Tintin and his faithful dog Snowy, carved in relief in oak. A nod to Hergé's comic books, which comic fans, of whom there are many, will recognise at first glance. A paper hero turned into a hand-carved piece of wood, to give as a gift or to treat yourself.
