Our Craft
Each piece passes through the hands of carver, joiner and finisher — and is lacquered by hand at the end.
I
Hand-carving
Every carved element begins as a drawing at full scale, transferred to the timber and cut with chisel and gouge.
Acanthus, shell and rosette are carved deep enough to hold shadow, so the ornament changes as the light moves through the day.
II
Solid oak & lacquer
Every piece is built in solid oak. Boards are chosen for figure and book-matched so the grain mirrors across a surface.
The finish is lacquer, hand-applied in coats and cut back between, so the surface stays hard, clear and quiet under the hand.
III
Architectural joinery
The structure is built the way a building is: mortise and tenon, pegged through; drawers dovetailed by hand.
Where a joint can be seen, it is drawn as part of the design.
