Alongside our carefully curated collections lies the true heart of Austen & White—our bespoke commissioning service. Every creation can be tailored to your individual vision, allowing you to commission something that is entirely unique.

Whether you are seeking a striking architectural feature wall, a beautifully handcrafted piece of furniture, an engraved family heirloom or a completely original commission, our collections offer a world of creative possibilities. Every engraved line, every carefully shaped surface and every thoughtfully finished detail reflects the knowledge, precision and artistry of experienced craftsmen.
These are not simply products.
They are enduring expressions of British craftsmanship, created with exceptional materials, guided by imagination and designed to be admired, lived with and treasured for generations.
Every Austen & White collection has been thoughtfully curated to celebrate the extraordinary possibilities of craftsmanship. While each collection possesses its own distinct identity, they are united by a shared philosophy—exceptional materials, meticulous craftsmanship and timeless design. Whether crafted from reclaimed timber, natural slate or premium ceramic, every creation reflects our commitment to producing heirloom-quality pieces that enrich homes and preserve stories for generations.
From bespoke engraved wall art and handcrafted furniture to personalised memorials, luxury home accessories and architectural feature pieces, our collections invite you to discover objects that are both beautiful and deeply personal.
Our engraved ceramic collection reimagines what ceramic can become.
Far beyond conventional decorative tiles, our bespoke engraved ceramic creations transform walls into works of art, combining architectural design with extraordinary craftsmanship. Using precision engraving techniques, we create luxury ceramic wall tiles that celebrate both technical excellence and artistic expression.
Whether creating an elegant individual tile, a bespoke splashback or an expansive feature wall extending across multiple ceramic panels, every commission is individually designed around our client’s vision. Family portraits, botanical studies, architectural illustrations, landscapes, wildlife, typography and original artwork can all be translated into beautifully engraved ceramic surfaces with remarkable clarity and depth.
The versatility of ceramic makes it an exceptional medium for both contemporary and traditional interiors. Kitchens become focal points. Bathrooms acquire quiet elegance. Hallways become galleries. Commercial interiors develop a unique identity.
Every engraved ceramic commission is carefully considered, from composition and scale through to finish and installation, ensuring each creation feels entirely at home within its surroundings.
Elegant, enduring and entirely bespoke, our ceramic collection demonstrates how craftsmanship can elevate architecture itself.
Wood possesses a warmth and character unlike any other material.
Our engraved wood collection celebrates this natural beauty, transforming carefully selected timber into deeply personal works of craftsmanship. Every engraved line works in harmony with the grain, allowing the natural movement and individuality of the wood to become part of the finished composition.
From family trees and personalised gifts to decorative wall art, bespoke commissions, commemorative pieces and architectural installations, every engraved wooden creation is crafted with remarkable precision and artistic sensitivity.
Working with reclaimed timber as well as premium hardwoods, our craftsmen understand how every species responds differently to engraving, allowing us to achieve exceptional detail while preserving the integrity and natural beauty of the material itself.
No two engraved wood pieces are ever identical.
Every board carries its own grain patterns, natural markings and subtle variations, ensuring every commission becomes a genuine original.
These are pieces created not simply to decorate a home, but to become part of its history.
There is a timeless elegance to natural slate.
Its rich texture, subtle colour variation and remarkable durability have made it a cherished architectural material for centuries, qualities that also make it the perfect canvas for bespoke engraving.
Our engraved slate collection encompasses personalised house signs, commemorative plaques, memorial tributes, family names, garden features, decorative artwork and bespoke commissions created exclusively for each client.
The natural surface of slate introduces depth and authenticity to every engraved design, producing pieces that feel both refined and enduring. Whether displayed indoors or outdoors, engraved slate develops character while maintaining its quiet sophistication.
Our craftsmen carefully prepare every commission to ensure exceptional clarity and precision while respecting the individuality of the stone itself.
The result is a collection of elegant pieces that combine permanence with artistry.
Some materials become more beautiful with age.
Our reclaimed wood furniture collection celebrates timber that has already lived a remarkable life before arriving in our workshop. Carefully salvaged from previous buildings and structures, each piece of heritage timber carries decades of history within its grain.
Weathered surfaces, saw marks, nail holes, knots, gentle imperfections and the rich patina created through time become defining characteristics rather than flaws. These natural signatures give every piece of reclaimed furniture authenticity, warmth and individuality that simply cannot be manufactured.
Using traditional woodworking techniques alongside contemporary design, we create bespoke dining tables, coffee tables, shelving, mirrors, consoles, benches, storage solutions and architectural furniture that honour the provenance of the timber while giving it an elegant new future.
Each commission is individually designed around both the material and the client’s vision.
No reclaimed timber can ever be replicated.
No piece of Austen & White furniture can ever be repeated.
This exclusivity lies at the heart of true luxury.
Among our most distinctive collections are our Lichtenberg wood creations.
Inspired by the extraordinary beauty of naturally occurring fractal patterns, each Lichtenberg design reveals intricate lightning-like formations that make every piece entirely unique.
The dramatic natural structures created within the timber are carefully refined by skilled craftsmen before being transformed into elegant works of functional art. Rich oils, premium waxes and carefully selected finishes enhance both the intricate fractal patterns and the natural beauty of the wood itself.
Our collection includes statement wall art, handcrafted serving trays, luxury home accessories, mirrors, coat racks, key racks and bespoke furniture that combine artistic expression with everyday functionality.
No two Lichtenberg creations will ever produce identical patterns.
Each piece becomes a one-of-a-kind celebration of nature, craftsmanship and creativity.
Luxury is often found in the objects we use every day.
Our Home & Living collection has been created to enrich everyday living through thoughtful design and exceptional craftsmanship. Bringing together reclaimed timber, engraved detailing, artisan woodworking and elegant finishing, these handcrafted pieces combine beauty with practicality.
The collection includes serving boards, charcuterie platters, decorative trays, handcrafted mirrors, shelving, wall art, coat racks, key racks, storage solutions and bespoke home accessories designed to complement both contemporary and traditional interiors.
Every creation is individually crafted, ensuring no two pieces possess exactly the same grain, colour or character.
These are not mass-produced household items.
They are carefully considered objects created to become part of daily life while quietly expressing individuality, authenticity and enduring quality.
Some commissions carry a significance beyond craftsmanship alone.
Our Memorials & Tributes collection has been created to honour cherished lives, celebrate treasured memories and preserve meaningful moments through exceptional engraving.
Working with wood, slate and ceramic, we create personalised memorial plaques, engraved pet portraits, commemorative artwork, remembrance pieces and bespoke tributes that capture both likeness and emotion with remarkable sensitivity.
Every memorial commission is approached with care, compassion and respect. Photographs, handwritten messages, meaningful quotations and personal symbols can all be incorporated into a bespoke design that reflects the unique life being remembered.
These heirloom-quality creations provide lasting places of remembrance while celebrating the enduring bonds between people, families and beloved companions.
Beautifully crafted and deeply personal, every memorial reflects the same commitment to excellence that defines every Austen & White commission.
The finest plaques and signs communicate far more than information.
They establish identity, celebrate heritage and create memorable first impressions.
Our collection of bespoke engraved plaques and signs combines elegant design with exceptional craftsmanship, creating timeless pieces for homes, gardens, businesses and heritage properties.
Working in reclaimed timber and natural slate, we create personalised house signs, family name plaques, commemorative markers, garden signs, business signage, architectural plaques and decorative installations tailored entirely to each client.
Every commission begins with a conversation.
Clients may incorporate family names, house numbers, crests, logos, illustrations, meaningful quotations or original artwork into a design that reflects both personal style and architectural setting.
Every engraved plaque is individually produced, carefully finished and created to provide decades of enduring beauty.
Whether welcoming visitors to a private residence, enhancing a landscaped garden or commemorating a significant moment, our bespoke plaques and signs combine craftsmanship, permanence and understated luxury.
What unites every Austen & White collection is not simply the materials we work with, but the philosophy behind them.
We believe luxury is created through craftsmanship rather than excess. Through the careful selection of reclaimed timber rich with provenance, the timeless elegance of natural slate, the architectural beauty of engraved ceramic and the expertise of skilled artisans, we create pieces that possess authenticity, individuality and lasting significance.
Whether discovering a handcrafted serving board, commissioning a reclaimed wood dining table, creating a bespoke ceramic feature wall or preserving treasured memories through personalised engraving, every collection offers an opportunity to own something genuinely unique.
These are not products created for the many.
They are crafted for those who value heritage, artistry and exceptional making.
They are designed to enrich homes, celebrate personal stories and become part of the lives of those who commission them.
This is the enduring character of Austen & White.
