Over the years, we have collaborated with decorators, architects, and private clients to create unique, handcrafted pieces as well as interiors all over the world. These projects have ranged from restaurants to hotels and stables as well as private homes. We present here brief snapshots of our capabilities and a few completed projects.
Our team of designers and craftsmen have completed numerous projects requiring bespoke furniture, such as made-to-measure kitchen cabinets, display cabinets, bars, haberdashery units. We like to experiment with the combination of materials such as copper, brass, zinc on wooden surfaces.
The Texan Ranch
The Texan project was to decorate five properties on a 10,000 acre ranch, comprising of the main house, 2 guest houses, a pool house and a bar and games barn, using an eclectic range of antiques and vintage items.
We created bespoke furniture from late 19th Century and early 20th Century Estate Cupboards, extending Chesterfield Sofas in proportion to the size of the rooms. For the bathroom basin cabinets we used antique cupboards and reclaimed marble.
Utilising the large windows we brought the outside in, by placing 1950s polished TKZ Military Observation Binoculars as modern sculptures with a practical use.
We purchased items on commission for the client, creating collections of Barware, Policeman memorabilia, Motoring memorabilia even a collection of chairs such as a Martin Baker Ejector Seat, a Dentist Chair and Barbers Chair among others.
Collection Of Milliners Hats
This is a collection of 19th and early 20th Century French Milliners hat moulds that we sourced for a client. As each mould was acquired, we stripped both the wooden blocks and the brims, polished them and reassembled each one appropriately. Final details were then applied using antique leather and brass to dress the moulds so they resembled finished hats.
We have created and restored many collections for many clients over the years, from Hat Moulds to Silver Flasks, Motoring Memorabilia to beautiful Boxes.
Champagne and Coffee Bar in Owners Club
Over the years we have been approached by many clients concerned with the effects of consumerism on our planet. We are passionate about sustainability, after all antiques are the origin of recycling. In this project our client wanted to use our creative abilities to disguise the modern day equipment required in their interpretation of a Owners Club.
We increased and enhanced a 10ft Georgian Bookcase to create an 18ft Champagne/Coffee Bar. We wrapped counters in beautifully organic copper and used a 1930s haberdashery unit to create a kitchen and serving space whilst hiding unsightly essential equipment.
Louis Vuitton Fit-outs
Louis Vuitton and Goyard made the most beautiful luggage, that have stood the test of time with elegance and grace, a testament to their quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. However, today’s travel has changed to such an extent that these timeless pieces have become surplus to requirement. So we have found them a new vocation, given them a new purpose, something fun and innovative, whilst continuing to honour and appreciate their sophisticated look and original practical purpose.
The trunks and luggage chosen for fit-out are equipped with the very best antique crystal, bar ware and handmade humidors in the cocktail and spirit bar trunks and antique games and pieces in the gaming trunks. Each one is made to order and unique to each client.
Cotswolds Barn
The brief for this project, deep in the Cotswold countryside, was to create a practical, comfortable living space for this weekend home. A smaller property for our client to use as a retreat and to enjoy some of their Black Forest collection as well as favourite pieces of art.
Using the space to its optimum potential, we used traditional sofas, small tables, a set of narrow mahogany apothecary drawers for storage and a farmhouse table and chairs all to make this property a comfortable, practical and cosy holiday home.
Dining Room Project
We aimed to create a warm, cosy atmosphere in this small east-facing dining room whilst respecting the contour of the bay window which shaped the space. Hence, we decorated the room with rich autumnal tones and round forms.
We sourced reclaimed natural oak for the floor and doors and to finish it off with a touch of glamour added a beautiful gilded mistletoe chandelier and wall lights bringing nature into the room.
Kitchen Project
This is an example of one of our bespoke kitchens we created as part of a larger family space to cook, dine, entertain and live in.
The central island is wrapped in muted brass and warm copper, with three vintage opaline lights hanging above it. For the breakfast bar extending at one end of the island, we sourced a large slab of petrified wood and hand made a column to support it at one end and an invisible support at the island end to give a clean flow below the beautiful table sculpture.
The organic materials of brass, copper, zinc and natural stone are dramatically highlighted by the finishing touch of brilliant peacock blue art effect created on the copper doors. The combined effect of everything makes this space feel like a work of art.
Flat Conversion in Convent
(currently in progress)
This one bedroom ‘pied a terre’ in Belgium is a current project. The client has asked for a vintage look in the bedroom, kitchen and living space, working within the fabric of the room, with the original magnificent ceiling mouldings and oak panelling. We will incorporate the existing features of this 18th Century convent into a beautiful apartment for easy city living.
