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
Oud Wood Carving — Wholesale Guide
Classic oud wood carvings hand-finished from plantation-grown Aquilaria sinensis. These standard-grade pieces offer a genuine natural oud fragrance experience in a decorative art format at an accessible entry price point for wholesale buyers.
Suitable for specialty retail, gift shops, temple supply, and hospitality decorative accessory buyers. MOQ 5 pieces per order.
Blocks are selected from 15 to 20 year plantation trees where resin has formed naturally around mechanical stress points. Each piece is finished with a light walnut-oil polish that deepens the grain without masking the natural oud aroma.
Common finished weights range 80 to 180 grams per piece. Export packaging uses padded kraft boxes with silk-lined interiors for retail-ready presentation, suitable for direct drop-ship to specialty boutiques.
Verified buyers
What our collectors say
“I bought a Sinking-Grade Pixiu from AgarwoodTown three years ago for under $2,000. A specialist auction house has now appraised it at $4,800 with the original CITES certificate. The scent today is richer than the day it arrived.”
Private collector
Hong Kong
“We commissioned a Cultivated Kynam Guanyin for a senior executive retirement gift. The reaction in the room was unforgettable. Three more orders followed within the quarter from people in that same room.”
Corporate gifting agency
Singapore
“Their carving quality holds up under magnification. Tool marks are clearly hand-finished, not CNC. That alone is the reason serious collectors shortlist AgarwoodTown over five other Guangdong workshops.”
Gallery owner
Taipei
