Cavendish Hardware and Bushed Bones

Hi to all of you out there, who drop in to see more replica parts for windows and a general nose around the sort of things I have done.

I started this blog seven years ago, as a way of putting up what I was doing at the time, in terms of making things and to show some of the other things that could be offered, with a contact of metalwindowparts@gmail.com - so I knew where the enquiry originated from.
Most people find us from google images, they may be looking for a Pivot, Stay, Handle, Hinge etc and spot the image and that's how the connection is made.

I also run another blog, which is about the company that sells all of the parts that have been shown on here and up to now, it it has suited me to keep them separate.
This time has come to join the two together, along with the opportunity to promote my brother's new venture - Bushed Bones, luxury beds for your faithful friend.

Victorian Antique Window Peg.

Whilst looking for something else closely related, I found this little item.
It's a few years back since this was done but looking at the level of detail on it, I thought it would be good to post it up.

During the Victorian and Edwardian period, so many things were made with attention to detail in mind and this is typical of that era.
This is just a window peg, for the stays to drop onto and hold the window open but instead of making just a functional item, a little more thought was put into it.
We made around twenty from memory, allowing the windows to be used as they were when first fitted.

Next time, I'll show some fancy handles we did for an old building.
