New for 2008, the Georgian Bedroom collection from Willis & Gambier is produced in beautiful birch, which has a lovely rich tone enhanced by a subtle lacquered finish. We especially like the double-width chest with its graceful curves, elongated legs and gently bowed front, making it a pared-down version of the classic style. Also available in the collection is a bed, a tallboy, bedside chest, dressing table and wardrobe. Willis & Gambier, 01799 510170, www.wguk.com.
