Specialist finishes

We offer a unique selection of hand-painted finishes which add depth and texture to our bespoke handmade furniture. They have been created and developed by our team of decorative finishers at our workshop in Wiltshire.

‘We’ve drawn inspiration from shimmering shell-like metallic silvers, aged golds and copper surfaces, with references to textures such as velvet, silk and other luxurious fabrics’ says Sarah who heads up the team.

All of our specialist finishes are applied by hand, using gold, silver and bronze powders, varnishes, and paints. We can also match finishes to make an entirely bespoke piece.

Below are just a few examples of the breadth of the team’s work.

Above: Papillon drinks trolley in ‘Verdigris’ specialist finish. Inspired by the effect of copper oxidation, Verdigris is a bluish green, hand painted over a pale copper-coloured base. It has a bright, outdoorsy look that brings with it a fresh and breezy feel, and its dappled finish echoes the natural variation of the outside world.

Above: Memphis round coffee table in Rose Pewter specialist finish. Rose pewter is a warm metallic with silvery bronze colouring. Pinkish tones shine through when it catches the light, while it has a darker, browner appearance when in shadow. It is hand painted, with plenty of variation and individuality in its finish.

Above: Siena round side table in Rose Pewter specialist finish with Rosso Luana marble. Rosso Luana is one of our favourite marbles to pair with Rose Pewter.

Above: Ariel round side table in Florentine Gold specialist finish with Calacatta Oro marble top. A shadowy gold shot through with dark layers of paint, Florentine Gold has an aged, antique appearance. It is hand painted and has visible brushstrokes that provide depth and character. Florentine Gold and Calacatta Oro marble work beautifully together on side tables, console tables and coffee tables.
