PAD London 2025 with Sarah Myerscough Gallery
We’re honoured to share that we’re currently exhibiting at PAD London — one of Europe’s leading design and art fairs, bringing together exceptional galleries from around the world across the disciplines of art, design, craft, and decorative objects.
This marks our first time exhibiting at PAD, and also our first presentation with Sarah Myerscough Gallery, with whom we’re delighted to share a deep alignment in values around craftsmanship, sustainability, and material storytelling.
Our featured works include Pentad, a new collection of five vessels — each hewn from the same storm-felled oak at Danefold Farm in Sussex. Every piece has been hand-turned, carved, and finished through fire, erosion, and polishing, revealing layers of texture and tone beneath an ebony-like patina. Bound with waxed cotton thread, these forms explore ritual, repair, and the quiet beauty of imperfection.
Also on view is Amphora Elata — the most elongated of all our amphoras, defined by its bold neck, eroded lip, and delicately asymmetrical handles wrapped in cord.
For all enquiries regarding these works, please contact Freya McLeavy at freya@sarahmyerscough.com.
All our best,
Barnaby & Dru

PENTAD
A collection of five vessels, each hewn from the same Oak tree felled due to decay at Danefold Farms in Sussex, each one has been turned on the lathe and intricately hand carved from a single section of Oak. The works have been charred and eroded by fire before being finely polished and worn, occasionally revealing a subtle hint of the lighter wood that lies underneath through an ebony like patina. Throughout the collection waxed cotton thread is used both as a method of repair but also as a decorative addition to the forms, intricately wrapped around particular areas.
Each piece in the collection draws upon and is a celebration of ancient form and ritual, they are playful interpretations of the past that celebrate both the beauty and the imperfection of the history that they reference.
ORACULUM
H: 25cm x D: 25cm | H: 9.84in x D: 9.84in
Named after the Latin for Oracle, its antennae like carvings give us the sense of it being a sort of intermediary for the mythological.
There are a few rather intricate little details on this piece, from the subtle tilt acquired during the drying process as well as the hexagonally carved foot. Not to mention the support structure for its ‘antennae’ actually being carved out of the inside of the bowl as opposed to the outside.
FLORIDUS
H: 25cm x D: 26cm | H: 9.84in x D: 10.24in
This vessel was incredibly complex to turn as it was turned 4 times, each on a different off set axis and then the four curved faces around the vessel were carved and shaped by hand, including the handles themselves.
Named after the latin for flower as the form reminded us of a bulb about to bloom.
TRIPUDIUM
H: 33cm x D: 26cm | H: 13in x D: 10.24in
This piece was actually hollowed from both sides, first the base and then the bowl afterwards before a lot of carving to reveal the handles that have been meticulously carved so as to appear like rope. The five torso like forms carved out of the base are tributes to the human form, each one drilled out and then carved by knife.
Named Tripudium after a form of religious dance, a tribute to the five bodies carved into the base, a dance of contrasts between the masculine and feminine.
LACERTA
H: 31.5cm x D: 20cm | H: 12.4in x D: 7.87in
Our first foray into anything animal-like in form, we thought the Lizard like handles gave the vessel a very hedonistic feel, note the asymmetry between the spacing of the arms as well as the diamond like base, named quite literally after the latin for Lizard.
CAMPIO
H: 34cm x D: 28cm | H: 13.39n x D: 11.02in
The most honourable form of the five this has a very welcoming and proud energy, including a subtly faceted foot and the tallest form of the 5.
Named after the latin for Champion due to its character.
AMPHORA ELATA
H: 61cm x D: 36cm | H: 24in x D: 14.17in
The most elongated of all our Amphoras, featuring a very bold neck with a thoroughly eroded lip. This is the first time we’ve wrapped the handles with cord as well as added a very subtle asymmetry to each handle, each one just perceptively unique from the next.
