A single initial can make a plain shelf feel personal. This wooden letter G brings the warmth of mango wood into a room, softened with a weathered white finish that looks gently time-worn rather than neat and new. Use it as an initial, build it into a name, or let it sit among books, plants and keepsakes as a small mark of belonging.
Whitewashed mango wood with worn edges
Made from mango wood, this letter has a painted, shabby-chic finish with visible dark rubbing along the edges and inner curves. Mango wood is valued for its grain and comes from a fast-growing tree, making it a thoughtful choice for home décor.
Each piece is handcrafted by artisans in Indonesia, so slight variations in shape, surface and finish are part of its character. The letter you receive may not be identical to the photo, which is part of the appeal of this range.
Displaying your initial

Care for the painted wood

Initials and monograms have long been used to mark identity, from household linens to calling cards and personal stationery. Here, the idea becomes simpler and more tactile: one wooden character, chosen for a person, a place, or a word you want close by.
