Silver Ash Chest of Drawers
The original Chest of Drawers as seen below was made in 1995. Constructed from resalvaged Qld Maple and English Oak, this stunning chest of drawers comprises of 106 hand made cut dovetails...
The English Oak legs were made from a deceased tree in Canberra, the oak was then sandblasted for a weathered effect.
The drawers ran on brass rails and there were no sides or back to the cabinet , except for the N profile.
The structure was held together with the top and bottom drawers attached to the N profile legs.
Fast forward to 2015 and here is the 21st century version of the chest of drawers...
Dovetailed drawers throughout
Hand shaped bowed front
same style as the original but with the luxury of full extension and soft close runners.
French Style Writing Desk
With over 300 hours of labor, this French Insprired Writing Desk was a journey of time, patience and fine detailed work. Our lovely client was inspired by a similar desk at The Lourve and wanted to emulate the fine work, and all the fine details that encapsulate this wonderful writing desk.
A rich warm timber was needed to enhance the soft design of the desk whilst blending in with the existing décor so Qld Maple was used for these beautiful qualities
The design of the desk evolved after extensive collaboration with the client and included such wonderful features such as;
handcrafted dovetailed drawers ,
Custom Brass beading , to highlight the panels and brass fretwork around the marble to embellish the design
Roll top curved timber panel door
Internal locking doors, to ensure individual compartments could be closed for privacy
The style was to emulate Louis XV opulent, yet discreet,
Marble top in keeping with the style....
Once the writing desk was made it was then hand polished and rubbed back to a 60% gloss to enhance its patina
