How would you describe your style?
"With the help of designers and decorators, we create bespoke furniture, finishes and mirrors - effortlessly translating ideas and turning them into reality. We begin the process in the initial meeting, from sketching out our client's ideas, creating rough drafts, and onto the final installation of your creation. Our team has an inherent understanding of each material we work with, ensuring all the slight nuances and technical aspects are well within our grasp, to make the brave journey of commissioning bespoke pieces an enjoyable one."

"At Rupert Bevan, we employ traditional skills and techniques that have been handed down over centuries, to create exceptional pieces with some of the most talented craftspeople in the country. Reinterpretation and development of these traditional techniques allow us to create new finishes for the contemporary interior, whilst paying homage to the craft. Our clients come to us looking for a genuinely bespoke piece of furniture - or looking for a specialised finish, unique to their interiors. Rupert Bevan is also renowned as a supplier of the finest antiqued mirror glass. All of our glass is designed and custom-made specifically for each project, and given a unique patina to meet our client's aesthetics."
