feeling very honored and proud as we were just given the biggest, most complicated commission of my 54 year, working career... a table and four chairs that will include uniquely designed wood construction, a large amount of textured and inlaid metal work, 23K gold plating(by others), inlaid textured glass pieces(approximately 700 pieces!) that will be also be 23K gold leafed(eglomised on the textured side... by others)... upholstery work(by others)... the very unique design and engineering work that preceded this job, along with several mock-ups of work, with many modifications, was extremely intense but got us to the approval stage... multiple artisans(the best in New York!) are working on this multi-faceted and multi-medium project... definitely a signature piece, honored and proud to still be relevant and given this job at this stage in my career... and also fortunate to have a talented and hard working staff that can bring this work to a finished end and a designer that has given their trust to us to do just that and execute their vision

a small selection of our drapery hardware line we photographed a number of years ago for a post card mailing we sent out to potential customers... I guess some of our competitors got a hold of it and used it to copy some of the designs we made, which just shows their lack of talent to come up with designs themselves... even stealing our company logo design... oh well, I'll take it as a compliment to our superior skills and commitment to be the best in the field!

these bedside tables are in our inventory, no finish, raw wood... beautiful painted finish on these two... our inventory was made/copied from this photo from an auction catalog... this painted finish is the exact thing my grandfather specialized in... the man was an artist... and a foreman of 12-plus men who did nothing but painted finishes... he passed away when I was 8 years old so I barely knew/remember him, unfortunately

here we have a corner mock-up of a table we produced far a client... table was trimmed with solid brass angle around the perimeter with various carved wooden inlay "segments" between the brass angles... solid brass sabot finishes off the bottom of the leg and top was an insert piece of glass... here we were asked to branch out from our usual, traditionally styled fabrication to a modern, bespoke design... client was very pleased as were we!

a chair reproduction job, which is what we specialize in... on the right is the original, an open arm chair and on the left is the reproduction of the side chair, sans finishing... made a number of these chairs and as with all of our work over the years, we have all drawings, models and sample chairs in our collection in our upstate, New York warehouse

some of our unique past work... here we have a heavily carved console(one of a pair)... original is on the left... our copy on the right... to bring the cost within a given budget, the detailing in the front rail and the flame finial was done in a cast material(small section of the rail detail was hand carved, molded then cast)... a pair was made and finished by others... consoles received stone tops... very happy designer and client!

today's post is of an incredible, mirrored powder room vanity we made a number of years ago, for Michael Simon Interiors... the moulding on the cabinet is from the venerable firm of P.E. Guerin, who also did the 23k gold plating to perfection, as well... glass/mirror work was done by Zecca, I believe... an outstanding ex*****on and coordination of work from the finest vendors New York City has to offer
