Built in 1887, the Chateau de Vouzeron was certified as a French national historic site in 1995. Set on 2755 hectors, this five story, 22,000 s/f estate residence is one hundred kilometers south of Paris in the Loire Valley region of France. This magnificent property is a fine example of Wood Art Design's ability to handcraft solid wood one-off replications to compliment the existing historic structure as well as fine architectural interior details.
We designed and fabricated a solid European white oak kitchen with each panel featuring carved folds, wire brushed, and medium textured with white washed finish. Our precision kitchen work featured solid bronze pull out drawers and slide out shelves utilizing German imported Blum soft close and v-cut bent bronze sheet @ 1.5 mm thick for slide outs. This one of a kind kitchen included 42 sold oak slide-out bronze drawers and shelves. The Wood Art Design built a 6.5 meter high library, all with arched top, extensive ceilings, as well as massive, yet exquisite period carvings. The castle job comprised of many one off furniture pieces and period moldings. This historic renovation project took three years to complete and was delivered to France in six full forty foot containers.
With our solid hand made custom wood and metal expertise, including custom bronze casting, Wood Art Design compliments the exacting demands of historical architectural treasures around the world.
