Do you have an appreciation for period homes and furniture and are you looking for something different? When considering a custom built reproduction piece, do a Google image search on the "Biedermeyer" and "Art Deco" styles. Discover a newer and brighter look. The switch to lighter colours and fresh clean lines, suit both Contemporary and Period homes, moving away from the look of ornately decorated dark brown furniture of the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
Cabinet
This job was for Andrea and Peter of Caulfield in Select Grade Blackwood with period mouldings to the bench top. The brief was to create a library style panelled look, hence the choice of recessed finger grips beneath the doors as against traditional handles or knobs.
