Artisans of the Valley - Custom Libraries

Recent works include a stunning solid Mahogany English library. This 16' by 20' room includes a granite counter wet bar, audio center, and fireplace. Ten individual bookcases units were custom built and fitted within the room using hand carved moldings. Hand-plained raised paneling surrounds the doors and fireplace.

The library stands as a full room of artistic representation in this 11,000 square foot reproduction French Château. The home, designed and decorated by the home owner, provides the perfect setting for this one of a kind hand crafted room.

Completing this room provided a rare treat for Stanley and Eric, as it is unusual to have the opportunity to work on such a large scale in solid wood. This work stands to date as our crowning achievement in custom libraries.

Shown left, our English Library is gaining attention in the architectural and woodworking communities with a feature on LibraryDesigns.com.

We also acheived a feature book cover for "Old School Romance" by Conrad V. Sucatre, Vintage Romance Publishing. Once again, our English library makes the not only the perfect setting for warm fire and a good book, but makes the grade for an actual book cover!

"Imagine a time when a romance novel won the Pulitzer Prize. When one romance writer was the highest paid author in the world. When romance was enjoyed by both men and women. A Golden Age of Romance Fiction! It did exist, and you'll learn all about it in this book."

These double mahogany bookcase units are actually sections of a built in room divider. Units like these can be any size and stand free in a room, against a wall, or can be used as a sectional divider.

Each two unit section is bridged together with moldings, and they stand back to back creating a four unit cluster.
