Product Description
A Pocket-Sized Work of Chinese Woodcraft
Compact enough to travel with you yet detailed enough to be treasured as an artisan object, this Golden Nanmu folding comb brings traditional Chinese carving into an intimate daily ritual.
When closed, the round wooden case protects the comb teeth and displays its carved artwork. When opened, the two semicircular sections reveal a smooth wide-tooth comb designed for convenient everyday grooming.
Three Designs, Three Expressions
Phoenix & Blossoms – Millennium-Aged Submerged Golden Nanmu
This version features a richly carved phoenix surrounded by blooming flowers. The phoenix is associated with virtue, harmony, renewal, and auspicious transformation, while the blossoms symbolize beauty, prosperity, and a flourishing life.
The comb is made from Golden Nanmu classified by the workshop as aged submerged wood. Its surface may display deeper coloring, expressive markings, and ripple-like grain developed through its distinctive aging environment.
Symbolism: Beauty, good fortune, harmony, renewal, and prosperity.
Phoenix & Blossoms – Century-Old Reclaimed Golden Nanmu
Carved with the same Phoenix & Blossoms composition, this version is made from reclaimed Golden Nanmu traditionally recovered from an old wooden structure.
Compared with submerged wood, this reclaimed material may show a lighter tone, smoother backing, straighter grain, historic markings, or natural traces of age. Reusing old timber also gives an existing material a new life as a functional object.
Symbolism: Enduring beauty, inherited blessings, harmony, and continuity across generations.
Night Voyage – Selected Golden Nanmu
The Night Voyage design depicts a small boat moving beneath a crescent moon and scattered stars. Its calm composition evokes companionship, quiet courage, and the idea of continuing forward together through the uncertainties of life.
The open water represents the journey ahead, while the shared boat conveys trust, companionship, and mutual support.
Symbolism: Companionship, safe passage, resilience, tranquillity, and moving forward together.

Handcrafted from Golden Nanmu Wood
This comb is made from **Golden Nanmu wood**, known in China as **Jinsi Nanmu (金丝楠木)**. The wood is admired for its warm golden-brown color, fine texture, naturally expressive grain, and subtle woody aroma.
The name “Golden Nanmu” refers to the luminous, silk-like effect that may appear within its grain under changing light. Historically appreciated in Chinese woodworking and architecture, Nanmu continues to be valued for objects that combine natural beauty with skilled craftsmanship.
Because wood is a natural material, every comb displays its own grain pattern, color variation, and small organic details. These differences are part of its character and make each piece unique.
Care & Cleaning
To preserve the natural beauty of your wooden comb:
- Remove loose hair from between the teeth after use.
- Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
- If deeper cleaning is needed, use a slightly damp cloth and dry the comb immediately.
- Do not soak the comb in water.
- Avoid dishwashers, chemical cleaners, alcohol, perfume, and harsh detergents.
- Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight, heaters, and excessive humidity.
- Store in a cool, dry place, preferably inside its gift box or a soft pouch.
- Do not bend, drop, or place heavy objects on the comb.
- If the wood appears dry over time, apply a very small amount of wood-safe maintenance oil with a soft cloth. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
FAQ
What is Golden Nanmu wood?
Golden Nanmu, commonly called Jinsi Nanmu in China, is appreciated for its fine texture, warm color, subtle natural aroma, and luminous-looking grain. It has a long association with traditional Chinese woodworking, decorative objects, furniture, and architecture.
What is reclaimed house timber?
Reclaimed house timber is wood recovered from older architectural structures and repurposed for new objects. It may retain variations in tone, grain, weathering, or historical surface marks.
What is the difference between the two Phoenix & Blossoms versions?
Both versions feature the same phoenix-and-flower symbolism but use different wood categories.
The submerged-wood version is shown with a deeper tone and more pronounced ripple-like grain. The reclaimed-house-timber version is shown with a smoother, more restrained back grain.
Every piece will still vary naturally.
What does the Phoenix & Blossoms design symbolize?
The phoenix symbolizes grace, virtue, harmony, renewal, and good fortune. Blossoms represent beauty, prosperity, and flourishing life. Together, they express a wish for beauty and good fortune to flourish side by side.
What does the Night Voyage design symbolize?
The moonlit boat represents a peaceful but determined journey. It conveys calm progress, resilience, companionship, and the confidence to continue through uncertainty.
How does the folding comb work?
The round case separates into two semicircular sections. One section contains the comb, while the other acts as its protective cover. Small fitted magnets help align the sections when closed.
Can it be used on wet hair?
We recommend using it on dry or slightly damp hair. Avoid prolonged contact with water and dry it immediately if it becomes wet.
