Hello and a very warm welcome to the 1891 kitchen collection

Here at Ellis, we’ve been designing kitchen furniture since 1891 using only the highest

quality products and materials.

From our Yorkshire factory, with a team of 200 passionate and talented professionals,

we design and make fine furniture for discerning customers right across the UK. Our

kitchens are renowned for their very high quality and value for money and are proven

to have an incredibly long lifespan.

Our 1891 fine real wood collection enables you to create a kitchen with exceptional

design and simple sophistication.

We offer an unrivalled choice of real wood and colour finishes in two fashionably

popular door designs to customise your kitchen. Discover our 30 paint colours which

have been carefully selected to reflect the very latest in styles and trends and be

inspired to create a show-stopping kitchen. Simply choose your preferred colour and

our highly skilled team will hand spray your 1891 real wood kitchen furniture to ensure

award winning and accredited - complete assurance

We attribute our success to our wonderful team of skilled professionals, people who have

practiced their craft for many years using high quality, locally sourced materials combined with

the latest machinery and proven cabinet making skills.

All of our design and manufacturing processes require human input, so people are involved every

step of the way, checking for quality and precision. Much of the finishing work is done by hand

too, which is rare – and we think very special – in today’s automated world.

What’s more, all of our furniture is made to order, which is not always the case in today’s

mass-produced world. This means that we always know who we’re making our furniture for.

You will also be reassured to know that we look after the environment too and all of our wood

comes from renewable sources. As a result of our support of the environment our company is

FSC® accredited.

The first step in the process of making your new 1891 kitchen is sourcing the raw materials. Once

the real wood, veneers and panel materials reach our factory, they’re brought indoors to settle

and acclimatise. All timber is moisture checked regularly during this initial stage to make sure it’s

absolutely ready to become a beautiful 1891 kitchen.

When the real wood has settled and our quality team is satisfied, then it’s good to go, and the

large wooden boards are cut into smaller strips, ready to be machined into the elements

contained in your new 1891 kitchen. Our team then profiles the strips and cuts the necessary

mortise and tenon joints depending on the range you’ve chosen. The stiles and rails of your new

doors are now starting to come together and we have the beginnings of your new 1891 kitchen.

the collection

The 1891 Aspect and Matisse ranges use real wood veneers, which are thin slices of wood peeled from the trunk of a tree,

similar to how a pencil sharpener works but on a large scale.

The wood veneers are carefully selected by the vastly experienced Peter Kenny (who has been part of the Ellis team since

1972) to create a natural and complementary effect, taking account of the true beauty of real wood furniture where no two

pieces are ever identical – as unique as your own fingerprint in fact. Once the veneers are selected, they are then stitched

together by Tony Rodgers, another long standing and experienced member of our team who has been with Ellis for 26

years. Every panel then goes through a calibrated sanding process, to ensure each component is the correct size and is

100% smooth, before the veneers and timber-edged panels are bonded together - we now have your new 1891 kitchen

door or furniture panel in its raw state.

This is where your doors change into the colour you’ve chosen for your 1891 kitchen – so if it’s Padstow Blue or Glacier, or

both, this is where the creativity starts. All of our 1891 kitchen ranges are finished by hand. Whether painted or a natural

woodgrain style, our skilled team prepare the furniture with primer and/or undercoat and then paint or lacquer every piece

of furniture, all by hand, all in a controlled, dust-free environment, keeping your new 1891 furniture in pristine condition.

During this process we once again sand the furniture to ensure it’s absolutely the correct thickness and evenness.

Patrick Madigan is one of the most experienced furniture painters in our team, with 36 years service with Ellis, he knows a

thing or two about making real wood furniture.

So now your new 1891 kitchen is really starting to take shape and we’re ready to start fixing the

necessary hardware to the hundreds of components that will make your new 1891 kitchen

furniture. As all of our furniture is made to order and as we make every element of your 1891

kitchen furniture - which really sets us apart in today’s market - we only drill for the hinges and

handles you require, so you’ll never find an Ellis door with unwanted plugged holes that not only

compromise the beauty of the furniture but also compromise its strength.

The 1891 team ensure that all necessary components and hardware are skilfully and lovingly

prepared and ready for the final stage in our process which is assembly of your new 1891 kitchen.

An 1891 fact:

Only ever seen by our skilled team here in Huddersfield, we

use a ‘double dowel and glue’ system in all our furniture,

which we believe is the best method in the industry. We

know our customers want to be safe in the knowledge that

their new kitchen cabinets have been built to be trouble-free

throughout their life, even in the busiest modern family

home. We also use solid hardwood rails in all our furniture,

again this is ‘double doweled and glued’ and will remain

structurally sound throughout the cabinet’s life.

Choosing natural real wood products for your home will add charm and character to any interior

style – the uniqueness of the material, the texture of the woodgrain and the characteristics of

each piece adds real beauty and value.

The 1891 kitchen collection uses a variety of solid wood and veneer species (e.g. Oak, Walnut,

Ash), all of which demonstrate beautiful natural markings such as knots, flared grain, colour

contrast and grain variety. These characteristics give each piece of furniture an inherent beauty

and are the result of natural growth patterns through the seasons of the years. Over it’s long life,

your 1891 real wood furniture will also mature, which is a natural process influenced by your

everyday environment, such as sunlight, artificial light, ventilation and air quality. This natural

maturing builds further character into your furniture.
