Crafting Bespoke Handmade Oak Furniture Since 1986
Established in 1986, Ram Furniture has dedicated over three decades to crafting bespoke handmade oak furniture and restoring antique and modern wooden pieces. Our artisans employ traditional construction methods, using thoroughly seasoned oak and native hardwoods to create durable, timeless designs tailored to individual requirements. Each commission integrates seamlessly with existing furniture through matched turnings, carvings, and finishes, with options for ageing and distressing to achieve desired aesthetics. We specialise in restoration services, including re-polishing table tops and modern polishing techniques, preserving the integrity of cherished pieces. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship is evident in every project, from small bowls to large-scale built-in storage solutions.The Derbyshire Ram, our signature hand-carved emblem, discreetly features in every creation. Clients benefit from our expertise in matching existing designs, offering solutions for damaged furniture, and creating unique memorial pieces through personalised engravings. With workshops in Crich on the Peak District border, we serve clients seeking both functional and decorative wooden items. Our portfolio spans bespoke fitted bookcases, custom doors, dining sets, and unconventional commissions like spinning wheels and cannon stands. By combining heritage techniques with modern adaptations, we ensure each piece meets exacting standards while maintaining the warmth of handcrafted artistry.
