News
We
are pleased
to announce a brand new range, with more on the way. The Lattice
range is now available and the Sleigh Bedroom range will be added
soon (examples available in the retail store).
Sourcing
from Indonesia
All
of the furniture is made using traditional village techniques, which
put simply means no large-scale factory production, giving local
people employment, and ensuring continuation of the long tradition of
highly skilled craftsmen and women.
As
with all cottage industries there are variations in the way each
piece is made, as well as colour and grain differences.
Highly
skilled professionals oversee construction, therefore, we offer
unique but constant quality in both colour and the polishing process.
In
short the furniture is village made, but with the consistency of
factory produced goods. Many of the Mahogany items express the
commitment to quality with a brass plaque and a scroll guaranteeing
the authentic history.
Character
with age
As
with any natural item, the distinctive character of Ancient
Mariner furniture will only improve with age.
During the making process each piece has been purposefully 'aged' to
add even more character.
NO
attempt is made
to hide irregularities,
in fact we think that is what gives each piece of furniture
distinctive character and charm.
NO
effort has been spared in construction, finish and distressing. Every
care is taken to ensure all timber is from managed sources.
Antique
furniture wax will further add to the character of your classic piece. |
