Bespoke Handmade Furniture

Bookcase, Occasional Table, and Dresser

Working closely with the client who had personally designed the items of furniture, each piece was built to a traditional style, using traditional methods and materials, yet designed to perform a practical modern day function.

The Occasional Table is constructed in solid walnut and veneered in burr walnut throughout, in a quarter cut design. The mouldings are cross-grained to enhance the grain effect and the piece is strung throughout with walnut feather banding.

The Bookcase is constructed in solid mahogany and veneered through the whole piece in flame mahogany. The lower drawers conceal a larger cupboard behind and the two top drawers form a Secretaire, which encloses the drinks cabinet over which the elegant glazed display cabinet is supported by matched barley twist columns. The whole piece stands on out-splayed bracket feet.

The Dresser is constructed from solid oak with pippy oak veneer on the drawers and solid panel doors. The glazed section above has individual panes of glass housed in swirling astragal mouldings.

All three pieces have been traditionally French Polished and burnished with an oil and beeswax composition. The handles were handcrafted and all timbers and veneers were selected to produce a magnificent visual effect.
