| At Elgar Furniture I design and make by hand high quality furniture to suit your home or business requirements including cabinets, chairs, tables, bookcases, occasional pieces and kitchens. Commissioning handmade pieces gives you the opportunity to choose timber, size and finish of your furniture, maybe creating your own personal style or copying from a wealth of period designs that may suit a particular room. Woodturning, carving, french polishing, hand veneering and lacquering are some of the skills that have enabled me to complete projects from turning a Georgian style door handle to re-creating the carving designs of Augustus Welby Pugin. In using the best methods of construction, timbers and finish my aim is to make a piece of furniture that you have a hand in designing and a pleasure in owning. Derek Cottrill | |
