THE RUTLAND SHELVES | JC + CO

£1,395.00

Originally commissioned for the British Antique Dealers’ Show, the Rutland Shelves are a contemporary take on a traditional piece of English furniture.

Made in fumed oak, decoratively shaped shelves are held between uprights featuring traditional cotton-reel turning. The fuming deepens the natural colour of the oak and brings out the character of its grain, while the distinctive silhouette gives the piece a more playful, decorative presence.

Made in England by JC+CO, the shelves bring together accomplished furniture making, a deep understanding of wood and a willingness to play with the traditions of the craft.

British craftsmanship

Britain has a rich tradition of furniture making, from cabinetmaking and joinery to the decorative art of woodturning. The Rutland Shelves draw on that history through their cotton-reel turning, an established furniture-making detail given a new role and a more contemporary character.

JC+CO combine skilled making with a genuine devotion to wood: its grain, colour, movement and the way it changes according to how it is cut, turned and finished. Here, fuming brings greater depth to the oak while allowing the natural character of the timber to remain at the heart of the piece.

It is an approach we value at Notswolds: preserving the knowledge and skill of traditional craft, not by standing still, but by knowing it well enough to take it somewhere new.
