Every piece created by Austen & White is designed to become part of your home for years to come. Whether you have chosen reclaimed wood furniture, engraved ceramic tiles, handcrafted wall art, a Lichtenberg resin creation, an engraved slate plaque or a bespoke mirror, each piece represents countless hours of craftsmanship, technical skill and meticulous attention to detail.
We work with honest, authentic materials chosen for their beauty, character and longevity. Reclaimed timber bears the marks of its previous life, while slate and ceramic offer timeless elegance and exceptional durability. These natural materials are intended to age gracefully, developing even greater richness and character over time.
With a little thoughtful care, your Austen & White piece will continue to reward you with beauty for generations.
Our reclaimed wood furniture is handcrafted from carefully selected timber, preserving its natural grain, character and history. Every knot, saw mark, weathered edge and subtle imperfection tells part of the material’s story and contributes to its individuality.
Dust regularly using a soft microfibre cloth to prevent dirt from settling into the timber’s natural grain.
For general cleaning, wipe gently using a slightly damp cloth with warm water before drying immediately with a soft towel.
Never allow standing water to remain on wooden surfaces.
To preserve the beauty of your furniture, we recommend:
These simple habits help maintain the protective finish while reducing unnecessary wear.
Avoid using:
These products may damage natural finishes and dry the timber over time.
Solid reclaimed timber naturally expands and contracts with seasonal changes in temperature and humidity. This gentle movement is entirely normal and forms part of the authentic character of genuine wood.
For best results, avoid positioning furniture directly beside radiators, wood-burning stoves or prolonged sources of intense heat.
Similarly, extended exposure to direct sunlight may gradually deepen or mellow the timber’s natural colour, enhancing its unique patina.
Our reclaimed wooden wall art and engraved timber artworks require very little maintenance.
Simply dust regularly using a feather duster or soft microfibre cloth.
If necessary, wipe gently with a lightly damp cloth before drying immediately.
Avoid spraying furniture polish or cleaning products directly onto the artwork.
Where possible, avoid displaying wooden artwork in areas subject to excessive humidity or prolonged direct sunlight.
Each Austen & White Lichtenberg creation combines reclaimed timber with premium casting resin, showcasing spectacular naturally formed fractal patterns. Every piece is completely unique.
Clean using a soft microfibre cloth.
If required, wipe gently with warm water and a small amount of mild soap before drying with a clean cloth.
Never use:
These products may scratch or permanently affect the clarity of the resin.
Although highly durable, resin should not be subjected to excessive heat.
Always use protective mats beneath hot cookware and avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat sources.
Our handcrafted mirrors combine beautifully aged reclaimed timber with premium mirror glass to create timeless statement pieces.
Care for the timber frame exactly as you would reclaimed wood furniture.
To clean the mirror:
This protects both the reclaimed timber and its carefully applied finish.
Every engraved wooden piece is individually engraved and hand-finished by our craftsmen.
Dust regularly using a soft cloth.
For occasional cleaning, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth before drying immediately.
Avoid abrasive brushes or vigorous scrubbing around engraved details, as this may gradually affect protective finishes.
Display indoor engraved wood away from excessive moisture wherever possible.
Our engraved ceramic tiles are individually engraved and hand-finished by skilled craftsmen, transforming a timeless material into distinctive works of art for the home. Whether displayed as decorative wall pieces, kitchen splashbacks, bathroom features or bespoke installations, they require very little maintenance.
For routine cleaning:
For wall-mounted installations, regular light cleaning is generally all that is needed.
The engraved design is permanent, but we recommend avoiding:
These may damage protective finishes or dull the appearance of the engraved surface.
Ceramic is naturally suited to kitchens and bathrooms thanks to its strength and moisture resistance.
To keep tiles looking their best:
With simple care, your engraved ceramic tiles will retain their crisp detail and refined appearance for many years.
Slate is one of nature’s most durable materials and requires minimal maintenance.
For routine cleaning:
Avoid acidic cleaners, abrasive pads or wire brushes.
Natural variations in colour, texture and fossil markings are entirely normal and contribute to the individuality of every engraved slate piece.
Unlike mass-produced products manufactured from synthetic materials, natural wood, slate and ceramic continue to evolve throughout their lifetime.
Reclaimed timber may display historic nail holes, weathering, characterful grain, natural splits and beautifully aged patina. Slate contains subtle mineral variations formed over millions of years, while ceramic possesses a timeless elegance that has been admired for centuries.
These are not imperfections but authentic characteristics that ensure no two Austen & White creations are ever exactly alike.
Each piece is entirely unique.
At Austen & White, we believe exceptional craftsmanship deserves exceptional longevity.
With thoughtful care and simple routine maintenance, your reclaimed wood furniture, handcrafted mirrors, engraved ceramic tiles, engraved wood, engraved slate and Lichtenberg resin creations will continue to mature beautifully, becoming even more characterful with the passing of time.
Designed to be lived with, admired and enjoyed, every Austen & White creation is made not only for today, but for future generations—timeless pieces crafted to endure, carrying their story forward with every passing year.
