"Nice people to do business with!"
(Gordon Lindsay)

This is where it starts, with a rough drawing of the next design. Here, Jan wanted to introduce some side or lamp tables into the range. The inspiration for this one was the curve of the Buckden Dining Table.Hundreds of drawings like this are done for every piece before a prototype is made.

"Just to say how nice the Merrick units look in the show home - especially the corner unit you made for us. As usual your service was excellent and arrived on time!!!! Great job"

The sketch is endlessly discussed and criticised, here it has reached the eagle eyes of John Barnes (on left) our Head of Product Development and Tony Rawlinson one of our Senior Cabinet Makers. It would be at this stage the possible problems with manufacture will be ironed out.

"Just a note to say many thanks for the bedside tables. I was really impressed with the final result. They look absolutely great - all beautifully made. I am looking forward to seeing them in situ once the project is complete".

The first stage is to select the timber, bearing in mind the finish selected for our brochure. All our furniture is available in almost all our finishes and of course in any colour.

"Furnishing the award-winning, prestigious Calcot Manor Hotel, demands reliable supply and beautiful furniture.  I was really pleased with the service from Jan Cavelle, delivery of the pieces was punctual, and it was a pleasure to deal with the friendly team there and I would have no hesitation in recommending the company."

Next veneers need to be selected to match the solid timbers. It is essential that this matching process is repeatable to cater for contract jobs, especially important for hotels and big projects where items are ordered in quantity.

"I would like to sincerely thank you for your timely delivery of the bespoke furniture. My client telephoned last week to say she had just seen the furniture in situ and stated it was absolutely fabulous. She was so impressed with your outstanding quality. My assistant has just returned from Beijing for the final installation where she informed me that the coffee tables were quite beautiful and now wants a pair for herself. It was brilliant to liaise with you and Jan directly on this sizeable project".

Our cabinet makers work as a tight knit team. The success or failure of a piece in our range depends as much on them as on the original design, We aim for perfection.

"Since installing my design scheme which used a lot of your furniture in the Ebony finish, I must say your furniture looks fantastic! I don’t know if anything was mentioned at the time but I would like to personally thank you for the effort in resolving the finish issues with that particular furniture."

Everything we do is hand made - even the finish. Here our Chinese Red Lacquer is applied to one of several matching pieces. Achieving this level of finish and colour across several items has become one of our trademarks.

"Through my many years experience of working with Jan Cavelle I have found them an invaluable, reliable, supplier.
Jack has been my recent point of contact and has proved responsive, polite and professional.
Having made prolific use of the bespoke service I have found the realisation of my designs accurate and well finished.
As a whole I admire their ability to provide flexible design solutions with commercially relevant aesthetic! "

“I worked with Jan Cavelle 2 years ago for the first time, they made some custom designed items for an hotel project I was working on – Dakota, Nottingham.

At the last minute I needed one extra piece urgently, which they turned round extremely quickly. I was very impressed with their professionalism and quality under a restricted time-scale and will always remember how they didn’t make a drama out of a crisis”.

Amanda Rosa

"We commissioned our Architects, DSP of York, to design a "top quality look" for our guest rooms, in a contemporary style-led design.
The furniture for the rooms needed to match that brief and exude quality and style. The Aston range from Jan Cavelle was by far the most impressive range we viewed. More importantly the service we received from Jan Cavelle matched the product!
It is a pleasure to recommend a Company that has served us as well as we feel we serve our guests... A rarity these days"

Just wanted to say a huge Thank You for getting order ref 1/2946 back to us quickly. The Aston units looked great!
Many Thanks again,
