The Heart Behind the Finish
Our finishes reflect far more than surface beauty - they reveal a legacy of care, heritage, and refined expertise with every brushstroke.
Design Inspiration: The Grecian Key Pattern
A cherished family symbol, the Grecian Key infuses each piece with classical grace and modern relevance. Its bold geometry echoes ancient Greek artistry - balance, symmetry, and timeless sophistication - while transforming furniture into living history.
From Georgian console tables to antique chests, this elegant motif bridges past and present, celebrating heritage through masterful detail and rich narrative.
Specialist Paint Finishes: History in Every Hue
Our handcrafted finishes blend historical inspiration with contemporary precision:
Inspired Heritage: Colour palettes draw from Georgian, Victorian, and Continental traditions, lovingly recreated using time-honoured recipes.
By Hand, With Heart: Each piece is painted using traditional techniques and carefully chosen ingredients, preserving historic charm while adapting for modern life.
Modern Names, Timeless Roots: Contemporary colour names echo their historical origins, connecting stories across generations.
Crafted Slowly, Perfected Gently: Our layered process allows pigments and techniques to mature naturally, yielding tonal subtleties that speak of enduring craftsmanship.
The Georgian Era
The Georgian Era signified a transition from rationalism to romanticism, and the century was marked by profound social, mercantile and religious transformations within the British Empire, paving the way for the distinctive, modern culture of the Victorian Era.
This era saw the influence of the Enlightenment spread across the Atlantic, witnessed political and social reforms, significant achievements in art and literature, and observed the rise of the world's first industrialized nation, all amid confrontations with British adversaries like George Washington and Napoleon Bonaparte.
