Bespoke Furniture

Despite the predominance of mass market furniture, the bespoke furniture market continues to flourish, especially when clients demand pieces that cannot be found on the high street. Designed by the Edward Barnsley Workshops and made by Simon Owen, this games table has beautiful inlaid veneers, and is hand finished - see http://www.barnsley-furniture.co.uk/ - for further details . Simon is also taking individual commissions from clients.
