| Flagging up the Diamond Jubilee: Patriotic pieces by LINLEY |
LINLEY, manufacturer of beautifully made pieces with a quintessentially British as well as a slightly quirky feel is waving the most distinctive of flags and championing Britain with a striking collection of Union Flag accessories.
The Union Flag is steeped in historical meaning and represents the union of a family of nations, whose influence extends far beyond the British Isles. The unique flag incorporates the national symbols of three distinct countries - England, Scotland and Northern Ireland and its name emphasises the very nature of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland as a union of nations.
LINLEY’s Union Flag Collection epitomises the very best of British craftsmanship with a marquetry representation of the flag, using inlaid burr oak, burr walnut and ripple sycamore hand made by UK craftsmen using locally sourced wood. Marquetry is the technique whereby different veneers are used to create a design or picture, rather like a jigsaw puzzle.
Paper thin veneers are cut to a design and pieced together before being applied to a solid base - a labour intensive and meticulous discipline that requires the utmost skills of craftsmanship, a characteristic for which LINLEY is known. The collection includes a Money Box, Pen Pot, Bookends, Trinket Box, Matchbox Sleeve, Humidor, Tea Caddy, Cufflink Box and Photo Frames.
So toast some crumpets, have a brew, talk about the weather and wave the flag for the Best of British collections at LINLEY.
