Commissions

Every project is different, depending on the piece itself, the material(s) it is made from, the desires of the customer as to the finished look, and our own skills and expertise we bring to the work. We are learning all the time and are open to discussing ideas, and if we are unable to help we are always open to suggesting other craftspeople in the trade who may be able. The majority of the work undertaken comprises of repair, stripping old finishes, staining, painting, sealing, waxing, and some re-upholstery.

Bespoke Bathroom Vanity Unit

The client approached us with a vision to have a bespoke vanity bathroom unit made with a sink that was ‘less than ordinary.’ We knew the client had an interest in antiques and in gastronomy/cookery, so we found a small sideboard that we stripped, and then a well-used brass (French) confit bowl from which we made the sink. We added the fixures and plumbing fitting so that it is a whole unit that just needed to be attached to the plumbing and drain from the wall. Being in a coastal area, we added rope that would tie the materials together and provide a softer element to the piece. The whole unit was treated with yacht varnish to protect against water spills and stains, and the sink was protected as well to prevent any further degradation of the material. The client was very pleased and it continues to be a functional and beautiful addition to their recent bathroom renovation.
