Rupert Eachells’ Classical Fine Furniture In Perth
In France, a joiner is called a “menuisier”.e. a worker who is skilled in wood. In the old days, menuisiers would be commissioned by royal families to custom make furniture for their homes. We are brought back to the days when pomp and pageantry is the order of the day for Europe’s richest families, when we look at such fine furniture. One can imagine that the grand ballrooms of the ancient French courts would house such furniture.
However, to enjoy such fine work, you do not have to go back in time or to travel to Europe. A master wood craftsman is keeping the royal and ancient art of classical handcrafted furniture right here in Perth. Rupert Eachells is a rare talent in today’s world of mass production and cheap imitations. He has been schooled in the near-lost craft of the traditional menuisier (the guild of woodcraft and joinery in France which dates back to the 16th century). His training has been with the finest craftsmen from Europe. Seeing Rupert at work, one is reminded of a menuisier working on fine furniture.
He is dedicated to his art form in wood. Whilst he mainly designs and makes the fine furniture in the classical styles, he also does them in the contemporary styles. His work caters for every client’s individual’s needs and taste. Every piece of furntiure is unique and exclusive. Improviing in value with time is a given.
What an opportunity Rupert offers his clients - to enhance their dream homes with individuality designed and handcrafted furniture made from genuine Australian wood to suit a particular room decor or interior design. Alternatively, clients can chose to commission specific one-off items, e.g. furniture in the bedroom, dining room and hall - the list is extensive.
Religious bodies have commissioned Rupert to create designs for them. He has designed and carved corporate themes and logos as well as family insignias and coat-of-arms. We know that Rupert is gifted in the integration of Australian bush motifs and floral themes into his work. His works have been showcased in a number of Furniture Expos and Royal Shows.
The ordinary home would not house Rupert’s masterpieces. Each piece is an inheritance your children would be pleased to get. Each piece is furniture that is tasteful and uniquely Australian.
