Norfolk Collection

All carvings are done by hand.Our Norfolk Collection, made from reclaimed oak and cherry wood, features handmade furniture crafted by master cabinet makers in Great Britain.  The workshop is a third generation family run business and specializes in using traditional techniques and craftsmanship.  The cabinet maker uses age-old techniques handed down by previous cabinetmakers.  Each turning is done by hand, each mortise and tenon joint is doweled for strength.  Every surface is hand planed with a spoke shaver to provide an authentic aged and distressed look.

Bespoke Cabinetmaking

Reclaimed TimberWe start with rough sawn timber that has been reclaimed in many cases. Each piece of wood is selected for its character grain and distinctive markings.  

Truly Handmade

Each table, cabinet or custom piece is made entirely from solid timber and hand finished.  Each drawer is dovetailed and includes solid wood sides backs and bottoms. 

Hand distressed to perfection.The Norfolk Collection is known for the exquisite finish and hand spoke planing giving it the "instant" aged look.  Not contrived, just right.  All carving and distressing is done by hand.

As well as our standard range of solid oak and cherry pieces including dining suites, coffee tables, dressers and bedroom suites we offer a bespoke design service,  A comprehensive choice of colors and finishes is available from heavily distressed dark oaks to clean and crisp natural wax finishes, all capable of coping with the hectic modern lifestyle of today.
