HAND-MADE, BESPOKE FURNITURE AND ARTEFACTS - SUSSEX & KENT.

We are designers and makers of hand-made, bespoke furniture and artefacts for
the home and garden in solid home grown timbers from Sussex and Kent.

Established in 1967 as Rustic Crafts Limited, developing a unique, patent
jointed roundwood furniture, we now specialise in traditional furniture which
reflects the unpretentious charm of vernacular work. As the majority of our work
is made to discerning clients' requirements, we do not produce a comprehensive
catalogue, however, as can be seen from the accompanying photographs, our work
is varied! Please ask for a copy of our Brochure, Price Guide and Terms &
Conditions.

As we only work in solid timber, we do not touch veneers or man-made boards
other than the occasional use of plywood. What you see is what you get! We also
use traditional methods of joinery and finishes and, operating our own sawmill,
convert and air dry the timber, mainly Sussex Oak, controlling the process from
start to finish. We also offer a sawmill service to local craftsmen.


"... for it speaks of the craftsman, whose work is the expression of his life,
to whom anything short of good workmanship is a degradation to which he will not
sink."
- Walter Rose - The Village Carpenter

 

Domestic and reproduction furniture and artefacts
Seen below are a cherry music stand, a 16th century reproduction settle table,
trinket box and oak side table. We have made coffee tables, nests of tables,
livery cupboards, hall seats, cabinets, dining room tables, jewellery boxes,
artist's paint boxes, book stands and even a solid oak spectacles case with
wooden hinges! If you desire it, we can most probably make it!



Garden furniture and artefacts
Seen below are an oak Memorial bench seat (a hand carved inscription service is
available) an oak Versailles planter, Country Park display-board frame and a
traditional wooden wheelbarrow. We have produced a wide variety of articles
including, sign posts, sign frames, garden tables, letterboxes - mostly in
locally grown Sussex Oak.

Please remember, the majority of 'hardwood garden furniture' is made in the
cheaper economies of the Far East at prices it is impossible to even approach!
We build to specification, not down to a price!




We support British woodland industries and buy locally grown trees from well
managed woodlands.
