About us
Me-Steve Bull -I studied french polishing for five years 30 years ago and restarted whilst caring for my father a few years back to keep my mind and body active. Now I restore and deal in Antique boxes of many kinds,particularly writing slopes!
Let me explain why!
Long ago when fast travel or communication meant the horses were well feed or the the wind was in the right direction. In a time that empires spanned the world and people born in places, where far away was the next village, moved to the over side of the planet or toured the massiveness of europe or moved to the city. And most people were stangers in a strange land. At those times the writing slopes were designed and built by the craftsmen of the time to link you to the world and to home , wherever you found yourself, you could go to your slope prepare your pens, paper and ink and communicate. For many it was that one constant ,that rock to cling to. They were designed for that. See the different crafts and choise one.
