Santiago Scalloped Serving Tray
The Santiago Scalloped Tray combines traditional solid timber craftsmanship with our collection’s gently scalloped edges and fine bobbin trim. Each tray is built using carefully selected timber, chosen to emphasise the movement of the grain and highlight the natural beauty of the wood. A solid timber base adds strength and stability, giving the piece a grounded, purposeful feel that balances practicality with quiet elegance.
The Santiago Scalloped Serving Tray is made by hand in our West Sussex workshop by experienced craftspeople, using timber sourced through local businesses who share our commitment to responsible forestry and full traceability. Each board is carefully chosen so that the tone, grain, and natural character flow seamlessly across the finished piece. Built using traditional joinery methods once reserved for fine drawers and boxes, the tray features a decorative scalloped profile routed in-house and a hand-applied bobbin trim, shaped with the same care and precision found throughout the Santiago Collection.
To protect the wood while preserving its natural feel, we apply a low sheen, exterior grade coating made from renewable materials. This finish is durable yet breathable, allowing the timber to age gracefully while maintaining the depth and texture of our signature tones.
Drawing on years of experience restoring antiques and understanding how well-made pieces age, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern precision to create a tray built to endure. The result is an object of quiet beauty, designed to serve, to last, and to grow more characterful with time.

The Journey of Our Pieces
FROM TIMBER TO HEIRLOOM
To create our pieces, we follow a considered journey, from the first choice of timber through to the final hand-finished touch. Each stage is shaped by craft, tradition, and a lasting respect for materials, resulting in furniture made to endure for generations.
Choosing the Grain
We begin at local yards, walking through stacks of logs to find timber with depth and beauty, each board responsibly forested and chosen by hand for its grain, tone, and strength, matched carefully to the role it will serve in the finished piece.
Crafting the Frame
Traditional joinery is carefully blended with modern techniques, guided by lessons from restoration and an understanding of what truly endures, so that every joint is resilient and every structure built with longevity in mind.
Building the Drawers
Entirely solid, dovetailed boxes run on a timber-made system, designed to glide smoothly and last for generations. Their interiors are protected but not stained, allowing easy restoration and revealing the natural character of the wood.
Shaping the Details
From beads and mouldings to the turning of a leg, the finer elements are crafted by hand with care and precision. Each cut and curve carries subtle variations of touch, giving individuality to the piece and a richness that builds across its form, ensuring no two are ever quite the same.
Bringing Out the Grain
Natural oils and stains are worked patiently by hand, chosen to protect the timber while allowing its grain to remain open and alive. This approach preserves the depth and movement of the wood, giving each surface a richness that matures over time and a finish that feels both enduring and true.
Completing the Piece
Each design is finished with materials chosen to complement its form, from solid brass fittings to marble tops, glass panels, or mirrors. These elements are selected for permanence as much as beauty, bringing balance and integrity that ground the furniture with a lasting sense of elegance.
