Kitchen · Walnut
For thirty-eight years we have built cabinetry the slow way: solid timber, hand-cut joinery and finishes raised with oil and wax — for clients who intend to leave their kitchen to a grandchild.
Each commission is led by a single maker from first drawing to final polish. We accept twelve projects a year — never more — so that the workshop never out-runs the chisel.
Drawn around your house, never a catalogue. Solid frame-and-panel doors, hand-cut dovetail drawers, finished with hard wax oil.
Floor-to-ceiling libraries, panelled rooms, window seats and inglenook benches sized to the proportions of the architecture.
Walk-in dressing rooms with leather pulls, concealed lighting and Shaker-jointed drawers in cherry or quarter-sawn oak.
Stair joinery, coffered ceilings, panel mouldings — drawn by hand against original drawings or current architectural plans.
Sympathetic repair work and historically-faithful reproductions for period homes, museums and listed buildings.
Tables, dressers, writing bureaux and library ladders. Each piece stamped, signed and dated by the maker.
They drew our kitchen four times until it was right, then disappeared for a year and returned with something I will leave to my daughter.
Most commissions begin with a quiet conversation at the workshop and a cup of coffee. We are presently booking the spring of 2027.
