Queen Anne walnut Armchair

As soon as the customer walked into the workshop with the original of this chair, it was obvious that the proportions and quality were 'just right'. so I was very pleased when the quote was accepted and we were commisioned to make five more to make up a set of twelve chairs.

To have the opportunity to copy something of this quality is a rare treat, and a chance to really learn the secrets of the 18th century master craftsmen.

 

Copy Chair making

Chair making is a specialist part of cabinet making, involving many different skills often more akin to woodcarving.

We make sets of chairs to order to traditional or customer design. We can also make one off or small numbers of copy chairs to make up or extend an existing set, these are made to very exacting standards, from choice of wood, careful study of the original, to exact colour and patina matching. We are proud of the number of times customers have said,

"I can't tell the difference "
