Wall Art – #32

Description

This piece has been produced to preserve evidence of this magnificent tree’s history.  It is formed from the base of a Lime tree that grew in the village of Sonning in Berkshire. The tree was estimated to have been over one hundred and fifty years old when it was felled to facilitate property development.  The tree was planted and grew outside a farriers.  It was planted as Lime trees keep flies away and thus help to keep the horses still as well as providing the horse and farrier with shade and shelter.  The tree saw a lot of abuse during its life.  We found evidence of it having been scorched, buried nails and huge staples to hold horses reins.  There were even traces of stone and asphalt buried in the tree.  However, the tree endured all of this.  The majority of the tree has now been used to produce furniture for the home that the farriers has now become.  However, this piece remains as a testament to the tree’s history, endurance and inner beauty.

The price includes mainland UK delivery.
