At UKAA we are able to make our bespoke and made to measure tables with natural copper tops.
Our bespoke tables are hand made at UKAA by our team of skilled joiners and we are able to create a unique piece of furniture to suit your specific requirements and needs.
We only use natural sheet metal for our copper topped tables, the metal is then hand wrapped around premium quality exterior grade MDF (We have specified this to reduce the movement due to temperature changes e.g. central heating, that would be caused if metal were combined with natural wood).
The image below is of a natural copper table that we have made recently for one of our customers, the table has a tapered base has been painted in Farrow and Ball Pointing.
On the copper top table pictured below we have used antique copper nails as a decorative addition to the table top, this is purely for decoration. The base has been painted in Farrow and Ball Old white as requested by our customer.
We are able to paint the table base in a colour of your choice such as Farrow and Ball colour, Little Greene or Fired Earth.
We have a range of standard bases to choose from for our bespoke tables or you draw the table design and we will make for you, the tables can also include cutlery drawers or standard drawers if requested.

At UKAA we sell a large range of wall stays and brackets for original and reclaimed cast iron radiators.
Our most popular wall stays are the rear mounted square cast iron stay, this wall stay is designed to work with plaster board walls or solid walls and are suitable to use on most of our bespoke radiators and radiators to go such as the Carron Victorian, Duchess, Daisy and Rococo styles.
The rear mounted cast iron wall stays are designed to be as discrete as possible while maintaining the stability of the radiator. The wall stays and brackets are designed to stop the radiator from coming over and either causing injury or disturbing the pipework.
The image below is of the rear mounted square cast iron wall stay on A Carron Victorian 6 column cast iron radiator in our property, the wall stay is designed to grab the back sections of the radiator and secure to the wall.
We recommend using one wall stay per 10 radiator sections and the wall stay should be fitted towards the top of the radiator for maximum strength and stability.
The image below has been taken from the top of the radiator looking down to the wall stay, as you can see the wall stay grabs the back section of the radiator and then is securely screwed to the wall using the wall stay fixing point.
The image below is of a Carron Victorian cast iron radiator that has been fitted with a rear mounted wall stay, as you can see the rear mounted wall stays are very discrete and not obviously visible from the front and sides of the radiator. The radiator has been painted in Foundry Grey.
For more information on any of our radiator wall stays and brackets please do call the office on 01543 222923 or email [email protected]. We are also available to help on live chat during office hours.

The team at UKAA have recently advertised this fantastic reclaimed cast iron antique hotel sign on our website. The sign is ideal to use as a window display, hotel lobby sign or shop sign.
We have salvaged this sign from The Royal Hotel in Aberdeen, this was fitted along the top of the wall outside the hotel. The hotel was built in 1840 and the sign was commissioned especially for this iconic building.
The sign is in its original condition which is fantastic for an item of this age and is made from cast iron, each letter is individual and can be rearranged.
This reclaimed antique sign has many functions or uses, the sign would be ideal to use as a window or wall display in either a private home or shop.
The image below shows the full Royal Sign in its full glory, we have not refurbished the sign as the patina is excellent for an item of this age.
Each letter on the hotel sign is individual and can be moved around to read in a different order, the image below shows the letters in a different order and would be ideal to use for a vintage window display in a tea shop.
For more information on the Royal hotel sign please call the team on 01543 222923 or press the live chat button.
