The finely crafted English furniture which has become a trademark of Phil O’Mahony’s business, is carefully selected, with skill and exceptional understanding of the needs of the discerning collector. This knowledge is adapted to the unique requirements of each client. It is prone to shrinkage, splitting, warping and twisting. Unfortunately, the atrocious mass produced furniture has led to the popular misconception that anything veneered must therefore be of inferior quality. Thetruth is, most great masterpieces that are treasured by museums and highly sought after by discerning collectors, are of veneered construction. The most highly prized cuts from a special tree are often the burrs. When cut into veneers they can be skillfully used by a fine cabinet maker. Careful matching of the veneer allows the halving, quartering and numerous other decorative effects impossible to achieve using solid timber. Mahogany, Yew, Burr Elm and Walnut with cross-brandings of exotic hardwoods such as Satinwood, Rosewood, Tulip and Ebony are used for stylish furniture, The attention to quality and the aesthetic appeal of each piece of furniture is evident in the selection of carefully matched veneers, intricate inlays, mouldings, handcarvings and solid brass fittings. The processes are those used in traditional French Polishing but with the advantage of modern lacquers which are tougher and harder than those used in the eighteenth century.
