Narrow Bookcase — Reclaimed Timber Steel Every shelf in this bookcase was once a floorboard or a beam in a Derbyshire mill. We salvage the timber locally, plane it back, joint it and finish it by hand in our workshop a few miles from where it came from — so the nail holes, saw marks and colour variation you can see are a hundred years of use, not a factory effect. That means no two of these are identical. The one you receive will have its own grain, its own marks and its own history. 180cm tall and only 44cm wide, on a UK-forged steel frame — designed for the awkward narrow wall where a normal

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 TIMBER FOUNDRY LTD, number 12712489. 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
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
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.
