Doratura

New 19th Century English-style Library

I custom designed this library to be reminiscent of a 19th
century English style. Built from scratch from massive walnut, it had to meet stringent space requirements that included accommodating the flow of air conditioning from vents in the wall behind the unit. Hand made brass mesh was imported from the United States. Door handles were made from the same wood and gold leaf was applied to them and to the frames using the traditional water gilding process. Brass hinges and screws were used, and French polish topped it off for a fine finish.
