SOLD

This round stool features an applique geometric fox head which is an original design inspired by the family of foxes that live behind my house and I can see from the kitchen window. I love a Glasgow fox! The stool also features patchwork, buttons and fringing and is upholstered in high quality Delius fabric from Germany.

He's found a loving home already but I wanted to share these pictures with you all that were taken at the Design Make Restore Glasgow exhibition

The Peacock Screen in all it's glory! Pictures taken at the Design Make Restore Glasgow Exhibition in The Briggait. The screen is for sale, details in album description.

For sale - Price on Application

The only known reproduction of Gerard Morin's straw marquetry Peacock Screen. This five panel room divider screen measuring 1.5mx2m is decorated entirely using natural straw which was dyed, soaked, split pith removed and ironed flat entirely by hand to create beautiful couloured ribbons which were laid in a similar way to wood marquetry. This piece was a huge labour of love which took months of skilled work.

I would love to keep it for myself but I am leaving the country for a while and don't really have room to store it, I also feel like it should be on display instead of in storage!

Just finished caning this adorable little mahogany Edwardian bedroom chair, now just to add the beading and couching (cane border) and re-finish the timber (again) as I water damaged it while caning! Oops, good thing I'm in the restoration business!

Wee peek at The Peacock Screen in progress! It's so satisfying to see it starting to come together after the weeks spent preparing all the straw! See the finished piece at the Design Make Restore exhibition in the Briggait, Glasgow on 28th June!
