BOW-FRONTED CHEST OF DRAWERS

Matthew Burt

£8800

Rather than use very large pieces of wood to achieve the drawer-front curves, which would be wasteful, we built on the 18th century technique of veneering, with our own workshop-cut veneers. We add to this the 20th century technique of laminating, using horizontal bands of veneer to achieve texture across the piece. The top of each drawer we sculpt into a flared propeller edge, which allows us to create the handle and give a second curve. Two curves for the price of one. All the drawers are on full-extension, soft self-closing runners, thus allowing access to the full depth of the drawer. Ther

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as MATTHEW BURT LIMITED, number 07551359. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
