The China export machine has caused the choices of furniture and other interior style aspects to become cluttered with crazily cheap imports to Australia. Australian customers have been putting up with the flat pack type purchases for a number of years but the poor quality and reliabilty has usually been an issue. During that time the Handmade furniture business in Brisbane has contracted as master craftsmen with skills honed over generations fail to compete against the chinaman and his mass produced factories. However those master craftsmen that have survived have become highly thought of to create top quality furnishings created by hand, created to last and made to be a feature of your home.Enjoying a handmade buffet in brisbane is a feeling of heritage.

It takes many years to perfect the kind of skill that will produce graceful curves and magnificent arches by hand, some thing a production line can try to copy but by no means match. Only a human hand can produce that extra mojo that you discover in something created with care and attention to detail that works using the normal character of wood to produce a high class piece of furniture- that’s why antique pieces continue to command a strong following – from individuals who enjoy visual pleasure with a feel of real timber.

Obviously economics requires the presence from the reproduction market serving clients in various price ranges but I am continually surprised that even in the extortionate costs at the high finish of the market , companies make gaudy copies of antique furnishings from veneered mdf and plywood using the lame excuse that ‘chippendale would have used mdf if it had existed in his day’. I do not think so – certain inert wood gives stability in our age of central heating but it’s the natural movement and vibe of genuine wood that we love and creates something unique that we want to palm down over generations.

Reproduction furniture is good from a distance even though at the less expensive end from the marketplace it just does not look correct. But look closely at the way the finsh, the way in which drawers are jointed – is there hand dovetailing? Do the shelves use handcarved dog tooth racking? How are the carvings created and applied? How does it hold together as being a piece overall – does it have the important ‘unity of being’ that all fantastic furniture has?
