News

I have been making miniature furniture for over twelve years, during this time I have spent several months each year developing new ideas and techniques in order to make the best miniature furniture as possible. For example Marquetry, banding, ormolu mounts, cane work, fret work, casting, carving, est. Examples of these can be seen on the pieces below. All one off pieces and quite expensive.

This is why I have decided to make a series of limited edition pieces, to show the developments I have made over past few years.

Starting with an 18th century Dressing mirror which includes dovetail draws, scale banding and hand made glass mirror .2mm thick.
