Can I come and see your reproduction furniture, or do I have to buy on-line?

We do not have a traditional shop or showroom. Our aim is to pass on the savings we make in not having this facility to you. All our reproduction furniture is in a warehouse, packed up and ready to send out. If there is a specific piece you would like to look at before buying we can arrange for it to be unpacked for your inspection. Please give us a ring a couple of days before you intend visiting so that we can ensure there is someone around to look after you. You don't have to buy online, and we welcome orders over the phone, by post, or of course if you visit here.

How do you deliver your reproduction furniture?

All our reproduction furniture is delivered either by our own van, or by a dedicated furniture carrier. The service charged for is to the door delivery. Moving furniture into the room of choice would be at the discretion of the driver.

Can you deliver outside of the British mainland?

We can arrange delivery almost anywhere, but our web site shopping cart calculates deliveries on the British mainland only (excluding the Highlands of Scotland). We can deliver at very competitive rates to Northern Ireland and the Eire. We are happy to quote for export to Europe, but regret we are unable to ship to the USA at the moment. Give us a call.

What happens if the furniture doesn't fit my room when I get it?

Please make sure that the furniture you have ordered will fit into your home. We need good access for delivery, particularly for large items, and the responsibility is entirely with the customer as to the suitability of the size of the furniture once in situ. We regret we are unable to take furniture back if the size is unsuitable. Please check with us if you are unsure, as all our furniture is hand made and some minor variation in size can occur.

What is the colour of your painted furniture?

Our white furniture is finished in an antique style which picks out the detail in the carving. This gives the furniture a slightly aged appearance, rather than a dead white. The process is applied by finishing a mahogany piece of furniture which is painted white, following which a coat of antique wax is applied and polished off.

What is the colour of your mahogany furniture?

Our mahogany furniture comes approximately in one finish/colour. This is a medium/dark honey mahogany finish. The appearance of the photographs on the web site may vary in colour due to the different conditions in which the furniture was photographed. You will also get quite a variation in appearance of the shade of colour depending on the type of monitor you use for your PC. A TFT or laptop will generally display the colours as paler than a standard CRT monitor. It is possible for you to stain down the colour if it is too light if done with care. Dark antique waxes are worth investigating for this before going down to the DIY store.

How do I look after my reproduction mahogany furniture?

Your furniture will last for years with a light polish and occasional dust. Good quality furniture polish is always better than the spray on non wax polishes.

Can I fit my divan bed into your bed frame?

It isn't possible to fit a divan base and mattress into the bed frame because of the way the frame is designed. However, you can fit a bed base (available from us) to go between the slats and your own mattress. We would recommend this to extend the life of your mattress and for increased comfort.

Is your furniture solid wood or veneered?

Our furniture is mainly solid wood (mahogany), although in a limited number of pieces where there is a risk of warping on flat surfaces, veneered timber may be used. All the timbers are selected and kiln dried prior to manufacture by hand. Each piece will vary slightly but this adds to the unique quality of it.
