We recently made this attractive fan headboard for a customer in the south of England with two bedside cabinets in natural oak.

The fan is made painstakingly from 22 wedges of oak which are alternately figured ‘quarter’ grain and crown grain to give a subtle but noticable variation between each wedge.
This design can be made as a headboard or incorporated into a complete bed design. They are definitely a bespoke item so please call us at the workshop if you would like to discuss a commission. 01298 84467

This is a proud moment for us at Fox Country Furniture. We have just completed this huge oak dresser as part of an order for a long term customer in Leicester. As a team we feel it is the best piece of furniture ever created by Fox Furniture.

The spec includes genuine leaded lights which are illuminated from within and several panels of carving. The finished item is so big that we have difficulty getting a good picture of it! It measures 78” x 86” high and is priced at £4999 with this level of specification. The order also includes a drinks cabinet of ingenious design with folding, hingeing top doors that open to reveal a serving area and space for bottles at the back, accessed from above, while the front doors conceal a shelf for glasses and a bottom shelf for more bottles
Once the top doors are folded back you can see how effective this unit is as an all in one self-contained drinks storing and serving unit.

This one measures 36”h x 32”w x 17”d and is priced at £1495. We are so pleased with the design[all the work of our customer] that we are hoping to make one for the showroom. Keep an eye out for news on that if you would like to view one.
I will add some more pictures once we have completed the delivery.

This beautiful Utile coffee table recently left our workshop, heading for its new home in London, courtesy of carriers, TNT.

When it arrived it looked as though it had been blown up with TNT.

With minimal damage to the packaging it was not obvious from the outside that there was any damage inside. So my customer signed for it. There is no way she could or would inflict this damage. It appears to have been dropped from five feet up onto a hard surface. Yet because it was signed for TNT will not even listen to our protests or requests for compensation. I would be embarrassed to behave in such a way!
The warning is to always sign for your parcel as unchecked if you don’t open it first!
I have just finished making a replacement table for my very patient customer. I haven’t finished with TNT yet!
