HANDMADE
OLD-OAK REPLICA FURNITURE |
||
"The cupboard is exquisite" from our client who commissioned the piece, Gloucestershire |
||
AN
EARLY 16TH CENTURY STYLE OAK CUPBOARD. Handmade
from reclaimed ancient oak and produced to our clients specific size
requirements. We believe this piece represents the pinnacle of what
can be achieved in replica early oak furniture. Meticulous attention
to every detail, both inside and out, has been applied, from concept
right through to the aged and patinated surfaces. The mix and arrangement
of framework edge treatments (scratch stock mouldings, bead mouldings,
spokeshaved run-out chamfers) bear all the hallmarks of joined enclosed
furniture of the Tudor period (from the relatively few pieces that
have survived). The hand-carved tracery panels of unsymmetrical application,
parchment-fold side panels and pierced decorative ironwork are all,
again, 'of the day'. Apart from it's utterly convincing authenticity,
what also makes this piece so special is that we have effectively
built-in a 'history'. A With grateful thanks to Lindsay Gordon (Assistant Conservator of Furniture, Burrell Collection, Glasgow), for her invaluable assistance during research for this project. |
