A House in Highbury, Thunder Box

When this house was built it is unlikely that it contained any internal plumbing, water would have been pumped from a well and the WC or “Privy” would have been in the garden. In a makeover of the ground floor shower room the clients decided they would like a Thunder Box – a 19c style […]

A House in Highbury, Missing Columns

The elaborate front door ensemble had lost the columns, replaced by a pair of 4x4s. Although terraced, the house is a one-off; so new columns had to be designed using architectural evidence. A hollow hexagonal blank was made and my lathe bed extended to accommodate it.

This fine terraced house of around 1820 has some interesting features. We were called in shortly after purchase as the new owners’ surveyor wanted to restore the missing ground floor shutters but was unable to discover what had been there before. The flap above the window back led me at first to assume that these […]

The staircase in this fine early Victorian Villa in Richmond was modernised in the 1950’s; this entailed removing the newel post, curtail step and handrail wreath (or “monkey tail”) and inserting a square newel.

The restoration involved painstaking measurement of a surviving staircase in an identical house nearby and much careful work. The mahogany was […]

Magdalen Park, Wandsworth, was developed by Holloway Brothers from 1905 until the 1930s. This is an accurate copy of one of the original garden gates of circa 1905. The houses are Arts and Crafts with a touch of Queen Ann revival and a hint of Voysey.

These cupboards were designed by architect Robin Walker for the house in Totteridge which won an RIBA award in 2013. They are to house the client’s collection of Japanese ceramics.

The materials, which were selected by us, are – Cedar of Lebanon for the doors, Fumed Oak for the underframe and Snakewood for the handles.

A client ordered this chest as a Christmas present for his daughter. I was very busy and found myself working on Christmas Eve to finish it, as I did not want to disappoint the little girl.

When the client collected the chest later that day – he told me his daughter was seven weeks old.
