The Antique Elm used to make these panels was discovered in an Armoury in North Manchester. The Elm come from the original ledge and brace doors and from the floors in the main dining room. The building was built in 1884 and served as a training base during the First World War.
This only tells part of the story though. The wood in these floors is from the oldest forests in the world. For centuries they were left to grow with little interference from man. Antique Elm is now one of the rarest antique woods and it is doubtful that we will find it again.
A beautiful patina has developed on this wood to form rich, variegated tones and it’s open grain patterns make elm an unusual and bold choice.
