PIERS KETTLEWELL - CABINET MAKERS Piers operates at the top of the range in terms of quality. He sells into both the USA and Japan. At the moment he seems to be concentrating on reproduction Rene Mackintosh pieces. His is reproduction in the most exacting sense of the word. Even the mixes for the colours in the stained glass follow the right recipes. He did a whole room from the Mackintosh Art Lovers House for the Hida Takayama Museum of Art in Japan, and although he's a wood work specialist, he gathered together all the rest of the décor from gesso panels to light fittings. His company has worked all over Scotland and has been involved in the refurbishment of Strathleven House as well as work in St.Giles Cathedral. With in-house facilities for turning and carving, grandiose staircases are Piers particular forte, especially when the banisters do intricate twists and turns. "Who says that fictions only and false hair Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty? Is all good structure in a winding stair?" Temple (Jordan) George Herbert www.pierskettlewell.co.uk
