Pieces you touch every day
A table is handled more than any other piece in a room, so every surface is finished in a hard-wearing lacquer over the marquetry, matte or high-gloss.
Coffee and side tables hide drawers within the marquetry; desks are made around how you work, from a stone top to a 27-inch screen that rises at the press of a button.
Questions
07472 697363Will the marquetry stand up to daily use?
Yes. The veneers are sealed under a durable lacquer. Use coasters for hot and wet things, and dust with a soft cloth.
Can a desk be made around my set-up?
Yes. Desks are made to your room and the way you work: screen lifts, cable management, drawers and the choice of stone or leather.
Is everything made to order?
Yes. Each piece is made by hand once you have approved the finish, usually in 12 to 16 weeks. Headboards and wall panels are quicker, at 6 to 10 weeks.
Can I change the size or finish?
Yes. Any piece can be made in another size, in light or dark veneer palettes from more than 555 veneers, and with brass, nickel, copper or bronze. We send samples before anything is made.
Can I see a piece before I buy?
Every piece is made to order, so most are not on display. We send samples of the veneers, metals and finishes first, so you can see them in your own light before we begin. The Panthera Totem, Panthera Tambour Sideboard and Panthera Side Table can be viewed by appointment at the Bert Frank studio on Farringdon Road, London.
