Handmade
Radiator Cabinets
CLICK TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
Our radiator covers
are created in the form of genuine pieces of furniture.
Hand-made from stable laminate board and traditionally
hand veneered using reversible animal glues and interesting
exotic timbers.
This example of a Biedermeier style Radiator Cabinet
has been veneered in quilted Maple; the veneer is initially
soaked in order to become supple, and laid onto the
base wood with the use of a veneering hammer. The cabinet
body is vented to the top with the veneer being book-matched
for effect. The 3 facing edges are veneered with vertical
grain to an apron divided by ebonised Mahogany mouldings
to a panel of horizontal veneer.
The faux doors are created
from single sections of timber for stability and the
illusion of a pair of doors has been created with the
laying of the veneers to simulate a mortise and tennon
appearance. Each door has been trimmed with ebonised
Mahogany and fitted with elliptical brass mesh in the
form of a Biedermeier chiffonier. A subtle piano hinge
has been fitted to the base of the doors to enable access
to the radiator within. The whole piece is supported
by a deep plinth again laid on solid mahogany and ebonised
in the detail.
All surfaces are decorated,
the front and sides are of equal standing in quality
and craftsmanship and as most radiators are placed in
prominent positions in a home. Creating a piece in this
manner allows it to stand alone as a beautiful piece
of furniture in its own right.
