A Generational Treasure: Crafting a Timeless Cabinet
Recently, I came across a captivating image that brought back memories of a special project I undertook for a client. This particular commission involved the creation of a cabinet designed to house a priceless family heirloom: a brass teller gate. This gate, a cherished piece dating back to the 1920s, has been passed down through generations, symbolizing the family’s rich history and heritage.
My clients approached me with the idea of crafting a cabinet that would not only showcase the beautiful brass gate but would also serve as a functional piece of furniture. They envisioned a creation that would protect the gate while also allowing it to seamlessly blend into their home. The goal was to transform this gate into a useful generational treasure—a piece that their family could continue to appreciate and pass down for years to come.
As I began the design process, I kept in mind the significance of both the brass teller gate and my clients’ family traditions. The result was a unique cabinet that honors the past while providing a practical solution for the present. This project exemplifies the beauty of combining craftsmanship with family legacy, ensuring that such treasures remain an integral part of family history for future generations. I have a deep appreciation for generational wealth it binds the family to its past and give meaning and a story to not only past generations but future generations as well so start your story by commissioning me to create something for your family visit my Commission projects page for information on commissioning me.
