Only the finest quality timbers are

used in the manufacture of our

mantels which are sold subject
to the natural markings and
variation in grain pattern forming
the character of the timber.
Whilst every care is taken in
selection, mantels supplied
untreated or with a natural finish
may be particularly subject to
colour variation.
All of our timbers are kiln dried
and therefore contact with
even the minimum of moisture
may lead to movement. Timber
mantels should never be installed
against a newly plastered wall.
Most timbers, especially cherry,
will mature in colour over a
short period of time. This is a
natural occurrence dependent on
exposure to natural light.
We are committed to continuous
development and improvements
to our products and therefore
reserve the right to alter
specifications without prior
notice. The colour and shade
reproduction in this brochure
is as accurate as the printing
process allows and should not be
used as an accurate guide.

Some completely
original designs and
some borrowing ideas
from design classics,
we have called this
collection;

The Contemporary Range.

All available as standard
designs, we are also
able to produce
customised variations
of any mantels in the
collection. From a
simple variation with
an alternative finish,
whether stain or
painted, to additional
decoration.
Or you can let us have
your own design for a
complete custom build.

By manufacturing each
mantel to order using a
variety of solid timbers,
Classic Mantels offer the
widest choice to every
customer. Whether you
choose from our wide
range of standard stain
colours, a natural finish, or
prefer us to colour match
to your existing furniture,
each mantel is hand
finished to accentuate the
natural grain and markings
in the timber. Alternatively
you may wish to harmonise
your interior scheme by
choosing our hand painted
eggshell finish which we
offer on any currently
available paint chart or BS
reference.
While the featured
contemporary range in
general is less ornate, our
experienced craftsmen
can vary the decoration
by adding carving, marble
or marquetry inlays or
changing the sizes to suit
your personal specification.
Please contact us if
you have any specific
requirements.

The striking lines of

this classically styled
mantel owes much
to Charles Rennie
Mackintosh,
whose designs
still exert a
significant
influence on modern
contemporary styling
today.

The more minimal

lines that became a
characteristic of the
deco period shocked
and changed
the face
of interior
styling.
But today
these designs
are regarded as some
of the most timeless,
creating a dramatic
focal point in modern
home interiors.
