In the midst of the Brentwood countryside, not far from West Horndon station, you’ll find a sizeable converted barn. In this barn you’ll find an extensive workshop: it’s the home of Read Veneers, and the extent of the machinery and operation often come as quite a surprise to those who visit.
Read Veneers has recently produced an impressive collection of reproduction furniture complete with stunning marquetry for a leading furniture maker. The impressive furniture was crafted by a team of specialist furniture makers and Read Veneers completed the final finishing touches with unique, custom made veneers and marquetry.
The way veneers are positioned together can make a huge difference to the finished product. The overall look of the veneered product, whether a door, a piece of furniture or an entire kitchen, determines the technique that’s used. In general, to create a veneer with a first-class finish, a great deal of attention must be paid to the grain of the wood, the patterns of the natural material and the flow of the natural lines.
Read Veneers Ltd is a family run company based in Essex and operating nationwide.
We have obtained Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC® C109654) certification which means that we adhere to the organisation's standards governing the promotion of responsible forest management across the world.
