Reproductions
Furniture reproductions trace back to ancient civiliSations, duplicating admired styles for newer generations. Renaissance saw copies of Greco-Roman styles, reflecting cultural fascination with antiquity. The 18th and 19th centuries witnessed reproductions of earlier periods like Baroque and Rococo, indicating nostalgia and status. The Industrial Revolution furthered reproduction furniture with mass-production capabilities. The 20th century brought Modernism, which keenly revived earlier designs. Today, furniture reproductions remain common, providing affordable accessibility to iconic designs and historical styles, tracing a fine line between plagiarism and homage in the realm of design.

The client lived in a 17th century cottage with gable ends to the roof.
The master bedroom occupied one of the gable ends with the bedhead hard up against the short wall.
The maximum height the cabinets could be was 24 inches. Few antique cabinets are that low so
the client commissioned us to make the cabinets, keeping the proportions of the original but within the height limit imposed by the
sloping roof. The veneer used was curled (Flame) mahogany.
