Boston Bedroom Furniture

Boston antiqued traditional softwood bedroom furniture.

Boston is influenced by the colonial designs made popular by the tastes of travellers to the Far East trading centres at the turn of the last century.

Even today this range is produced in the time honoured way of frame and panel construction. Originally furniture was made this way to allow for any movement in the wood caused by the tropical heat. Every piece is hand made by craftsmen in Southern China so each item has its own characteristics with no two being exactly the same. Then it is shipped here via the old trade route through Shanghai, the same journey the orignals would have made over a century ago.

The timber used is locally grown softwood which locals call 'songwood'. This is complmented with inset panels made from plywood with a contrasting hardwood veneer for effect.

The finish is carefully applied by hand in four seperate layers to replicate the patina you would find on an original piece. A real metal handle is used to complete the effect. All you need to do to maintain the finish is a regular dust with a dry cloth and an occasional spray with a proprietary household polish.

Boston will bring a touch of old colonial elegance to any room.
