After training in Berlin as an interior architect and furniture designer, he then worked in Warsaw until the outbreak of the Second World War. He came to England with the Polish Airforce and after war established the firm. We are a specialist firm situated in Woodhall Spa, near Lincoln, Lincolnshire, within the East Midlands, England, designing and making individual items of furniture and restoring furniture clocks and barometers. Using traditional craftsmen’s methods and techniques, passed from one generation to another, we turn your ideas into furniture of a quality associated more with the finest antiques of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century than with modern mass produced furniture. Only the finest materials are used: from exotic hardwoods such as ebony, rosewood, olivewood and mahogany, to English oak, elm and ash. These timbers can be used either as a veneer or as solid timber. Experience in selecting timber is essential if the finished pieces are to stand the test of time. We also ensure that all our timber comes from sustainable sources. Our skills in French polishing, marquetry, parquetry (a geometrical form of marquetry), inlay work, carving, gilding and upholstery, mean that no matter how small your commission, be it a table, decorative box, with carved or gilded decoration, or large dresser, sideboard, or chest of drawers, a chair or a dining table – you can be equally assured of the quality of each item of furniture. Above all we like to work with you in bringing the furniture you visualise to life, or to extend the ideas that you already have. We have made several copies of antique furniture, for example, dining chairs to extend existing sets, particularly carved Chippendale and Sheraton chairs, each stained and polished to allow for variations seen in the original chairs caused by fading and wear. This may also include specialist items of furniture to match existing bedroom or dining room furniture. We have also made several clock cases in various styles to house existing movements. We have made marriage beds, carved with dates of the marriage and names of the bride and groom and also marriage chests – an individual way to commemorate a special occasion of any kind. Examples of our work can be found in homes of all kinds, public buildings and churches, found in Lincolnshire, the East Midlands, throughout Britain and Europe.
