Sympathetic Restoration of Tudor Mural

A recent feature in the Daily Telegraph highlighted a project that reminded us why we love this craft. Working alongside designer Ali Pittam of Can Can Deisgn (@cancandesign_), we carried out a sympathetic restoration of a Tudor mural in a private home. This was not a reproduction. It was genuinely Tudor. During our survey, we uncovered specific historic elements that confirmed the period, and those details guided every decision from stabilisation to final toning.

Loving this moody shot of our ‘Contemporary Japanning Lacquer’ finish for @schillerbeynoninteriors

Hand painted marble socket plates

In high-end interiors, nothing should feel like an afterthought. You can choose bespoke flooring, polished plaster walls, specialist joinery, artisan lighting and then find that every visible socket is still bright white plastic. Hand painted marble socket plates solve that design problem. They allow the tiniest hardware in a room to sit within the aesthetic rather than distracting from it.

They replace plain, mass produced plastic switches and sockets with something hand finished, beautiful and tailored to your interior scheme. They quietly transform a room, whether it’s in listed buildings, luxury residential spaces or high value commercial fit outs.
