Furniture

Seamus's reverence for the traditional construction methods used by master craftsmen of old and a piece's ability to give pleasure throughout decades and even centuries prompts him to use only the highest quality materials and to pay attention to even the smallest detail - this combined with his innovative design leads to an individuality in his work.

Commissions are undertaken and clients are welcome to visit his studio and see their projects in the various stages of progression evolving into superb pieces of furniture which can be handed down as family heirlooms.

Prices on request for furniture commissions.

History

Seamus Cassidy, a native of County Meath was born in 1961 and brought up on a farm. After completing his Leaving Certificate in 1978 in CBS Kells he went on to study Construction Studies in the Regional Technical College, Dundalk. After qualifying he moved to Dublin to work for a number of architectural firms.

While working in Dublin he took up woodwork as a hobby. A passion soon developed for working with wood and a real talent was apparent. His experience in design and drawing has been invaluable in enabling him to produce unique and creative pieces.

Seamus left Dublin in 1996 moved back to Co. Meath, his native county. He renovated an old Carthouse as a workshop and gallery. When you stumble upon this studio with its old world charm it seems like you have unearthed a treasure in this rural setting (although only 25 miles from Dublin). The richness and quality of his work, the innovative design in both his turning and furniture pieces undeniably cry master craftsmanship. The finish on all pieces is exquisite.

Seamus has exhibited at the prestigious National Crafts Competition at the Royal Dublin Society on a number of occasions.

Commissions for pieces - large or small - can be arranged by contacting Seamus.

Seamus's artistic work is sold exclusively through his own gallery.
