Abbeyhorn is a testament to long lasting, traditional, skilled British craftsmanship. With a rich heritage tracing their roots through 5 families and 250 years in England, Abbeyhorn continue to produce some of the finest natural horn products in the world.
Each piece is manufactured by skilled craftsmen in Lancashire, England using traditional methods that have remained largely unchanged for over 250 years. The result is a beautifully textured, unique piece of craftsmanship that is both functional and captivating.
The manufacture begins with heating the horn to compress it which, once cooled, is flat and ready to work with. The skilled carving can then begin. The required shape is cut out and is taken through a series of sanding and polishing rounds which remove the blemishes and builds up the layers of colour. Each piece is then highly polished using both a hard and soft polish resulting in the gloss-like finish.
