Leporello
Fine furniture designed and made in England
The Elysian Collection
The Elysian Collection —
French inspired furniture
designed and made in England.
We are delighted to show you the Elysian Collection. Drawing inspiration from
the decorative Louis styles and the simpler yet graceful Transitional style, both
the authentic classic Anton Range and the smart contemporary Etien Range work
equally well in refined and contemporary interiors and are good examples of our
passion and commitment to excellence in design and craftsmanship.
As a progression from our Leporello catalogue, the Elysian Collection offers diversity
in style. There are new materials, cherry wood, caning, mirrored glass, inlays and cast
bronze fittings. Much consideration has gone into the design features – the floral
carvings and oval shapes in the Anton Range and the gracious serpentine fronts,
twisted upright posts, multi directional curved panels with vee groove detailing in
the Etien range. We have developed special Antique and Distressed paint finishes
inspired from visits to French chateaux, Swedish churches and palaces in Lisbon.
Our objective is to create elegant, comfortable furniture for you and your home
with an individual and reliable service. Each piece is handmade to order and
meticulously finished by our team of highly skilled craftsmen at Leporello in Dorking,
allowing you a flexibility in design and a choice of paint colours and treatments.
We hope that you will be inspired by the beautiful photography of this exciting
new collection and look forward to helping turn your dream project into reality.

Children love four post
beds and we have had
fun designing one with a
magical cosy atmosphere.
The Etien Four Post Bed is the latest addition
to a very extensive collection of furniture and
accessories we have developed for children.
The scope of these may be seen on our website
and the detail explained in our main brochure.
For something rather special the furniture
may be decorated with one of our hand
painted designs and headboards may be
embroidered with their name.

Useful Information
Showroom
Our spacious showroom at No. 4 Old Char Wharf is open
weekdays and weekends by appointment. We are easy to
find approximately ten minutes drive from Junction 9 of the
M25. Please call direct on 01306 875550 if you wish to
make an appointment.
Timber
Frames are made from hand selected hardwoods including
beech, poplar and cherry. Panels are cut from veneered boards
for stability. This combination offers an excellent, strong,
smooth and stable base for our multi-layered paint finishes,
however, remember that wood is a live material and may react
to the effects of excessive temperature, moisture or sunlight.
Construction
Our furniture follows time proved construction methods.
All frames are formed with mortice & tenon joints that are
well glued and are extremely strong and light. Drawers are
assembled with dovetail joints on traditional guides. The
hardware has been carefully selected for its aesthetic
sympathy, durability and efficiency.
Paint Finishes
Our furniture is painted with non toxic water based paints and
sealed with a protective lacquer. As colours have an evolving
nature, ask to see our latest additions. A special colour and
finish service is available and we will give you a quotation
based on your specification.
Beds & Mattresses
Single beds come with a sturdy set of pine slats, all other
sizes include high quality metal framed beech twin sprung
slatted bases.
