Description
Cacia is a carved wooden ornament in the form of a calm face, eyes closed, its cheek resting on an open hand. The wrist tapers into a long, slender stem that rises from a solid block base, so the whole piece reads as one quiet gesture rather than a portrait. Made from 100% reclaimed wood, it comes in a natural colour, with the grain running freely across the brow, cheeks and fingers. At 35cm tall, 18cm long and 10cm wide, it has real presence on a shelf yet stays compact enough for most surfaces, and at 1.25KG it has a reassuring weight in the hand.
Its height suits a mantelpiece, a deep windowsill, a bookcase shelf or a sideboard. The closed eyes and resting hand give it a contemplative mood that sits well in a living room, a bedroom or a reading nook, and on a desk it makes a calm companion through a working day. It is a thoughtful gift for someone who collects sculpture and figurines, someone settling into a first home or anyone drawn to carved wood, and it works well in pale, airy rooms and in darker, moodier schemes, where the natural wood brings warmth to grey and charcoal walls.
Because the piece is made from reclaimed wood, timber that has had a life before, its knots, grain and tone vary from one piece to the next; the base shows the darker figure of the timber most clearly. The carving keeps to a few confident lines: crescent eyes, a straight nose, soft lips and fingers curled against the cheek. Wood is best dusted with a soft, dry cloth and kept away from standing water and strong sun. Stand it beside a stack of books or a single stem in a slim vase, and let the face read against a plain wall.

Frequently Asked
What material is the Cacia ornament?
It is made from 100% reclaimed wood in a natural colour. Because reclaimed timber has had a life before, its grain, knots and tone vary from one piece to the next.
How big is it?
It stands 35cm tall and measures 18cm long and 10cm wide, so it fits a mantelpiece, bookcase shelf or sideboard without crowding it. It weighs 1.25KG.
Does it stand by itself?
Yes. The face and hand rise from a solid block base, so it stands upright on a flat shelf, sideboard or desk with no separate stand or fixing needed.
How do I care for the wood?
Wood is best dusted with a soft, dry cloth and kept away from standing water and long spells of strong, direct sun.
What is included?
You receive the carved wooden ornament on its own, standing on its base; the styling props shown are not included.
Would it make a good gift?
Yes. Its calm, closed-eyed face suits someone who loves carved wood and sculpture, and at 35cm tall it is easy to place on a shelf or mantelpiece.
