HERITAGE · CRAFTSMANSHIP · LEGACY
A piece that gets more valuable — and more fragrant — the longer you own it.
Hand-carved agarwood is the only collectible category where the material itself improves with time. The resin oxidises gently over decades, deepening the colour and intensifying the scent. Master carvers in Guanzhu Town — the global capital of agarwood carving — translate raw plantation logs and the rarest Cultivated Kynam blocks into Guanyin figures, Pixiu wealth animals, calligraphy plaques and abstract presentation pieces that compound in value year over year. Every piece is one-of-a-kind: resin pattern, grain orientation and finish are never duplicated. Acquire today; your grandchildren still own something rarer than they did.
- ✓Hand-carved by Guanzhu Town masters — the global centre of traditional agarwood carving
- ✓Resin pattern, weight and grain are unique to every piece — none duplicated
- ✓Plantation tier from $80; Cultivated Kynam tier into the four figures and beyond
- ✓CITES Appendix II documentation for legal cross-border collector trade

Product Details
What should wholesale buyers know about the Agarwood Wood Carving?
Natural form agarwood wood carvings take a minimal-intervention approach — the artisan refines the natural shape of the wood rather than imposing a figurative design. The result showcases the extraordinary natural grain, resin deposits, and surface character of plantation Aquilaria sinensis.
These pieces appeal to interior designers incorporating natural luxury materials into home or commercial spaces, and to collectors who appreciate raw natural beauty over representational carving.
Starter-tier wood carvings in smaller formats (4 to 8cm tall): ideal for first-time gifting, corporate year-end hampers and decorative retail bundles where unit price matters more than collector provenance.
Each piece is individually inspected for structural integrity before dispatch. Rejected pieces are re-purposed as fragrant wood chips for our bakhoor line. Lead time is 5 to 10 days at MOQ 10 pieces.
This natural-form, minimal-intervention style suits interior designers and buyers who prize raw grain over figurative subjects; for grade-to-price context and the full range, see our agarwood logs & carving-wood guide and agarwood carvings catalogue.
Smaller 4–8 cm formats ship at MOQ 10 pieces with 5–10 day lead time; each piece is individually inspected for structural integrity before dispatch.
Sourcing transparency: Every AgarwoodTown carving is hand-shaped in Guanzhu Town — the world's leading centre for agarwood carving — by master craftsmen working from certified plantation Aquilaria sinensis or verified Cultivated Kynam blocks. Each piece ships with a grade certificate, origin record, hand-signed artisan attribution and CITES Appendix II export documentation.

About Agarwood Wood Carving
What dimensions is Agarwood Wood Carving available in?+
Agarwood Wood Carving is carved to standard vial sizes as the standard specification, with custom sizing available on OEM orders. Because each piece is shaped from a single wood block, very large formats depend on raw material availability — lead-time extends accordingly.
Is Agarwood Wood Carving a single-block carving or assembled?+
Agarwood Wood Carving is hand-carved from a single piece of Plantation Aquilaria sinensis. No gluing or laminating is used. This is the traditional method for religious and feng-shui pieces, because a single-block carving retains an unbroken grain flow — aesthetically and, for believers, energetically.
Can I order Agarwood Wood Carving as a private-label gift item?+
Yes. Agarwood Wood Carving can be supplied with custom base engraving, a branded gift box and an authenticity card listing the wood origin and carver. Ideal for luxury corporate gifts and collector editions.
What's the wholesale MOQ for Agarwood Wood Carving?+
The minimum order for Agarwood Wood Carving is 5 pieces. We offer tiered wholesale pricing above that, with deeper discounts kicking in for repeat buyers and long-term supply contracts.
How long is lead time on a bulk order of Agarwood Wood Carving?+
In-stock orders of Agarwood Wood Carving ship within 5–7 business days. OEM or custom-spec orders typically require 25–40 days for production, plus 3–5 days QC and export documentation. We confirm an exact schedule on each PO.
