• Mammoth Ivory

    Mammoth ivory is a unique material because of its value and properties. Tusks which have been lying for tens of thousands of years in permafrost, are extracted today in just a few regions of our planet. A very small percentage can be kept in a condition suitable for sculpture manufacturing. The Olmart House uses mammoth ivory of superior quality only.

    Pear wood is malleable material for artistic carving, it is well polished and has a sufficient density, which allows you to work out the smallest details. Only high quality pear wood of warm pink hues is used in the artworks by Olmart.

  • Ebony

    Ebony is the black tree which grows in the humid tropical forests of Africa and Asia, and it belongs to the rarest and the most valuable wood species. Very hard and heavy, drowning in water, it requires special continuous processing, special drying conditions, before it becomes suitable for carving and making artworks.
