The exact origins of ‘Green Man’ carving are unknown but examples dating back to Roman times have been found. Here in the U.K. the carving of Green Man faces in wood and stone on buildings and furniture became popular during the 1100’s. Since then the enduring popularity of this art form has become interwoven with mythology, the love of the countryside and our fascination with medieval Britain.
A wonderful focal point for hallway/ reception with the added benefit of a practical seat for comfortable shoe removal.
