08 – Fireside Cupboard

Last crawled date: 11 months, 1 week ago

The fireside cupboard illustrated is designed to occupy a recess and to extend over a chimney breast to form a surround to a tiled fireplace. The cupboard, enclosed by a pair of doors, is fitted with a shelf and has a bookshelf unit on the top. The tiled fireplace surround is of simple shape and could be obtained from a builders merchant in any colour. If preferred, ceramic mosaic or brick, could be slabbed the same way.

Crosby Lockwood & Son LTD) Each individual piece is modelled full size and in metric units, created from converting the imperial dimensions illustrated within the book into millimetres.
