Louise Biggs trading as Anthemion
After training at the London College of Furniture and before starting her own business based near Chelmsford in Essex, Louise spent fourteen years working with one of the most respected cabinet making companies in London. There she developed her skills restoring fine antiques and making furniture for the capitals leading dealers and designers.

One of the most important lessons she learnt was the importance of providing the client with exactly what the client required.

This maxim remains with her in her work today, the pleasure of customer satisfaction being a splendid reward.

The majority of her work uses traditional and long established methods of construction but where modern materials are incorporated, modern techniques are applied.

The materials used range from a wide choice of timbers from renewable sources, and modern board materials where veneering plays a large part in Louise’s work depending on the client specification. To these materials can be added the decorative work including veneered patterns to enhance the grain patterns of the wood, wood and metal inlays and turning, all of which involve different skills, but the skills used are as much at home in furniture making as they are in restoration.

Louise enjoys working to commission and will guide the client through the process. She will confer with her clients regularly throughout the making process ensuring their involvement at all stages during the development of their original ideas. Also where an Interior Designer is involved she will work closely with them.
