DFP Oakhampton Ash Bedroom Range
The Oakhampton range is made from solid hardwoods. Oak is used exclusively on smaller items while larger furniture features solid oak and ash attractively matched together.
Cabinets and tables are of jointed and glued construction and solid wood panelling is used for drawer bases and cabinet backs.
Drawers are made using dovetailed joints and are mounted on traditional wooden runners. Oakhampton furniture is finished in a low-gloss lacquer.
Oakhampton is sometimes referred to as Oakleigh, click to the
Oakleigh Bedroom Collection.
It is a fully assembled range although some larger items such as beds and wardrobes may be partially dismantled to facilitate delivery.
Please note: Much of the hardwood used for furniture manufactured in Asia may be described locally as Oak. While its appearance, density and durability is almost identical to oak, sometimes this timber is actually from the Ash (Fraxinus) family. In order to be as accurate as possible, we therefore market this furniture as being made from Ash, even though the manufacturer’s packaging may say Oak.
0803 Choosing Ash
Ash is a good quality hardwood that is a pale yellow, almost white, colour in its natural state. The quality of ash products rivals that of oak and indeed many manufacturers produce furniture that is a subtle mixture of both these timbers. As ash furniture is less well-known than oak, it can sometimes offer a much more competitively-priced item for a comparable level of appearance and quality.
3702 The invention of mass-produced glass mirrors
The glass mirror, or looking glass, is believed to have been developed during the Renaissance in the 14th or 15th Century. The technique for silvering the back of glass to produce a mirror was extremely difficult and expensive, so mirrors remained rare and valuable items right up until the early Victorian period. Then, in 1835, the German chemist Justus von Leibig developed a chemical method of coating glass with metallic silver and this facilitated the mass production techniques that made mirrors widely available.
