Our ethos is to provide something unique
and hand made
of long lasting quality in this age of massproduction
and throw-away. The idea of rescuing pieces of furniture
which have travelled long in time and distance is very
appealing. The quality of wood and workmanship that was
once commonplace can still be found in the furniture we
provide without it being too expensive.
We have a background in art and design, furniture making and restoration.
From this mix a new working method has emerged which we like and
which is also enjoyable for our customers. We have finished furniture
for sale in the shopfront but over the time discovered that some
customer interest would also 'stray' to raw unrestored pieces in
the back of the shop. This has led to more collaborative effort
where we offer ideas and choices and our clients are pleased to
be part of this process. This can include choices of handles, escutcheons,
locks, feet and most importantly the finnish. |
We are familiar with the tones of Farrow
& Ball and can help to find the right colour for your chosen piece
of furniture - taking the rest of the interiors of your house into
consideration. We can provide all paint finishes from simple flat
to heavily distressed and also traditional waxed and polished looks.
We also try our best to source specific items to fit in situ, not
just the type of furniture that is required, but also taking limiting
dimensions into account such as a dresser or a wardrobe to fit in
a narrow alcove or a table which is oversized or undersized depending
on available space.
Furniture for children has
become a large part of our service recently. Small antique
wardrobes and single romantic sleigh beds painted in
the right hues look absolutely lovely and unique in
nurseries. We can fit the inside of the wardrobe with
removable extra shelves and rails to accomodate the
needs of your growing childs. Please come and see our
portfolio for recent works to get some ideas.
