MAYFAIR TOWNHOUSE
Part of the ‘Town & Country Collection’, the ‘Grand Country Cabinet’ was inspired by our London Craft Week partnership with Cordings – who have been trading on London’s Piccadilly since 1839.
To celebrate London Craft Week, Clive Christian Interiors partnered with Cordings, an iconic Piccadilly establishment who have been tailoring the finest clothes since 1839. The design team immersed themselves within the Cordings quintessentially British approach to outfitting and their customer narrative – a professional gentleman of social stature – whom at the end of a busy, business week retires to his rural, des-res in order to enjoy some well-earned country pursuits.
The result was the ‘Grand Country Cabinet’. Crafted from European Oak timbers, it was important that the cabinetry felt equally at home within a period townhouse or a regal country escape. The physical silhouette of the furniture has an air of simplistic sophistication. A classical furniture arrangement; consisting of pilasters flanking cabinetry with embellishment of fine detailed timber profiles – cut and mitred into a breakfront formation.
The depth and quality of craftmanship become the key feature of the flat panel doors – allowing the beautiful feature veneers of decorative burr cluster oak, an outer radial frame of quarter cut walnut and a contrasting pinstripe of lemon satin wood to play centre stage.
Internal panel work of airy oak is paired with beautiful English Wellington Green leather – a subtle nod to the country, which compliments the gentile house check of Cordings. Our hides are sourced from a Scottish tannery, Bridge of Weir, who are synonymous within the luxury automotive industry.
Using illustrations taken directly from Cordings house field clothing silk linings,the drawer boxes are etched create a truly unique signature finish.
The cabinet is decorated with our ‘Classical Luxe’ cabinetry hardware. The handle, alike our cabinetry, is entirely customisable. The client can choose between solid brass or steel turnings with the option to add personalisation to the insert, in this instance we have chosen to display the stylish brand insignia. These pieces are all designed and crafted in the UK, uniquely for Clive Christian Furniture Co. to perfectly complement our fine furniture.
Designed to complement the most discerning of gentleman’s abodes, these characterful free-standing cabinets are crafted from American Walnut, providing a wonderful accent to the impressive townhouse where they reside.
The doors consist of a central panel of decorative burr walnut, an outer radial frame of quarter cut oak and a contrasting pinstripe of lemon satin wood. The interiors are decorated with striking Union Jack Blue leather – a sartorial tone one might expect to find lining a sharp business suit.
Rich, opulent walnut tones are detailed with fine glass touches and the compartments have all been considered with everything having its place including hat storage (complete with turned walnut stands), angled antique bronze mirror, warm recessed lighting (activated by sensor), a grooming drawer, a deep drawer ‘dry bar’ (complete with removable tray and compartmental storage) and ample space to house polished Oxfords and starched shirts.
