 |  Below are a few examples of bespoke projects that we have carried out for customers in the past. These range from slight changes in size or finish for one of our standard pieces, to completely new designs. Although delivery times for bespoke items may take longer than for our standard range, our sensible pricing scheme means that you can have an item made to your own requirements at a very reasonable cost.
If you are interested in having a bespoke piece of furniture made, we will first discuss your requirements with you before producing a technical drawing to show the proposed design. After any changes you specify we will confirm the design with you and provide a quote to have the item made at our workshop and delivered to your door. There is no obligation to go ahead until you have confirmed your order and paid a deposit.
If you would like a quote to have a particular piece made, please call us on 0844 412 8008 or fill out our online contact form. |
 | Butterfly TV Unit
This TV Unit was based on our Small Kang Cabinet, but with one set of doors double hinged to open the full width of the cabinet. The finish was in cream, with butterflies added to the sides and front in gold leaf. A beautiful and very unusual TV stand. |
Gilded Chest of Drawers
Our customer had a beautiful black lacquer chinoiserie cabinet and wanted us to produce a chest of drawers to stand this on in a similar style. This lovely piece, decorated by hand with traditional landscape designs in gold leaf, was the result. |  |
 | White Lacquer Dining Table
This square version of our Qing Carved Dining Table was finished in white lacquer to give this stunning modern look. We also produced a pair of our Ming Sideboards in white lacquer with silver hardware for the same customer. |
Mid Size Cabinet with Rubbed Edges
This cabinet was based on a pair of antiques from our own collection. Our standard range of black lacquer furniture is very clean in appearance but we are often asked to produce pieces with 'rubbed edges' like this, giving a more antiqued look. |  |
 | Black Lacquer Carved Cabinet
Our customer sent us a photo of an antique cabinet and asked us to match it. This beautiful piece, made in two sections and with intricate carvings on the door panels finished in gold, was the result. |
Red Lacquer Apothecary Cabinet
This was a slightly larger version of our standard Apothecary Cabinet. Our customer wanted additional drawer space and an antiqued finish in red lacquer. |  |
 | Red Gilded Sideboard
This beautiful cabinet was based on our Ming Sideboard, but our customer wanted a red lacquer finish. The landscape designs on the front of the cabinet are gilded, taken from traditional Chinese paintings. |
White Lacquer TV Cabinet
Based on our standard TV Cabinet, the white lacquer finish gave this a very clean, modern look. We produced two similar cabinets - each designed to fit in an alcove at the customer's home. |  |
 | Gold Edged Drawers
This chest of drawers was a slightly smaller version of our Ming Chest, including metal runners for smooth opening. The edges of the chest and the drawers were painted in gold, giving this beautiful, rich appearance. |
Stereo Cabinet
This piece was based on our Hundred Eye Chest but had a cabinet unit on top to house a stereo system. For easier access to the stereo, the cabinet doors were made to slide back into the sides of the unit. |  |
 | CD Storage Chest
This is one of two large chests of drawers we produced for a customer looking to store away a large CD collection. Each drawer was mounted on metal runners for smooth opening and to take the weight of the CDs. |
Apothecary Cabinet
Another beautiful solution for storing large numbers of CDs, this was a larger version of our Apothecary's Cabinet, finished in a glossy black lacquer. The cabinet included 15 drawers, holding 375 CDs. |  |
 | Shanxi Butterfly Cabinet
We produced this large cabinet to house a customer's plasma screen TV. The design is similar to our normal Shanxi Butterfly cabinets, but this version includes pocket hinges so that the doors can slide back into the sides of the cabinet for easier TV viewing. The TV shelf also slides out. The result is a very beautiful but practical way to hide away a large TV, DVD and other equipment. |  |
 | Carved Daybed
Our customer was looking for a daybed to pile high with cushions and to curl up on. We designed this beautiful piece for her, hand carved and finished in our warm elm colour with a rattan inlay. The carvings on the backrest and around the legs depict 'celestial dragons', while other carvings show plants and flowers. A highly unusual and beautiful piece of furniture. |  |
 | Corner Shelves
Based on our corner cabinet, we had this piece made with an open section at the top for display shelves and a cupboard section at the bottom. It was finished with a light lacquer to match our customer's existing camphor furniture. |
Red Shanxi Cabinet
Our Shanxi cabinets are very popular as TV cabinets, and this is an example of one we had made to house a large flatscreen TV. With space-saving doors that slide into the sides, the cabinet was finished in red lacquer and painted with a typical garden scene. |  |
 | 'Celestial Dragon' TV Cabinet
We designed this cabinet for a customer who was looking for something special to house his TV. Finished in black lacquer with a gold 'celestial dragon' design, the doors fold out and into the sides of the cabinet to save space. |
Horseshoe Back Bench
Our customer wanted a larger version of our horseshoe armchair to use as a sofa. We produced this beautiful piece, finished in light elm with a red lacquer apron and backrests. The carvings on the backrests are of a dragon and phoenix, painted in gold. |  |
 | Yoke-Back Armchair
We produced a set of our yoke-back armchairs and side chairs in black lacquer to be used as part of a dining set. For extra comfort we had a set of cushions made to fit the chairs, each finished in gold silk with a Chinese dragon motif. |
Red Lacquer Double-Sided Cabinet
Our customer wanted a version of our double-sided cabinet finished in red lacquer to be used in a hotel reception area. The finished piece, with its two brass lock plates set off beautifully by the deep red finish, was stunning. |  |
 | Large Painted TV Cabinet
We had this larger version of our Shanxi Painted Cabinet made to house a customer’s TV and video. Hand painted on black lacquer like our standard sized cabinets, this is a beautiful way to hide the trappings of modern life. |
Small Painted Cabinet
Our customer loved the hand painted landscape design of our classic Shanxi Painted Cabinets but wanted a smaller version for her dining room. This beautiful little cabinet was the result. |  |
 | PC Cabinet
Our customer wanted a simple cabinet in ‘warm elm’ to house her PC equipment. Our solution included doors that can slide back into the cabinet’s frame for easier access, a pull out keyboard shelf and 4 CD drawers. A beautiful piece of furniture to hide away a home office. |  |
 | Display Cabinet
This glass fronted cabinet shows a perfect mix between contemporary western and Ming styles. It includes both wooden and glass shelves, and was finished in our classic ‘warm elm’ to complement our customer’s other furniture. |
Large Sloping Wardrobe
This even bigger version of our Large Sloping Cabinet measured 2 metres high and 1.2 metres wide, providing a huge amount of storage space. We had the cabinet made in two sections so that it could fit up our customer's stairs. |  |
 | Wooden Bench
This very striking bench was made to be used with the PC Cabinet, but the simple design and wonderful wood grain mean that it also looks great by itself. |
Tea Tables
Our customer wanted a simple nest of tables to complement other furniture she had bought from us. Finished in ‘warm elm’ we produced a design based on the classic Chinese tea table set, but with a more contemporary look. |  |
