Our Classic English kitchens have traditionally-made doors and fascias, constructed from prime ‘Rock Maple’, which we carefully select to ensure the tightest of tolerances. Our oak drawers replicate exactly the look of a traditionally hand cut dovetailed drawer, whilst incorporating the practicality of a soft close drawer runner, something that no other furniture maker is able to offer. Our Classic furniture carcasses use solid birch cheeks on their exteriors and solid birch shelves, combined with traditional tongue and groove hardwood backboards. These solid timber boards are used in combination with birch plywood interior components to provide a cabinet that is solid hardwood and the perfect balance of traditional and engineered materials. We paint the interiors and exteriors of our cabinets, using water based paint, which is brush applied to all the exterior surfaces. Our process of brush painting not only creates a subtle traditional appearance but enables our furniture to be quickly and easily touched up in the event of the inevitable knocks and scrapes that happen over time. In many respects we are quite old fashioned with our approach to our Classic furniture, but sticking to traditional principles ensures a product that ages gracefully and is a pleasure to live with.
