ELZORVAN Wood — furniture with grandchildren in mind
The Trumeau takes reading seriously enough to spring it the old way: eight-way hand-tied, leather from named tanneries, a frame guaranteed for life and cushions the bench can re-service when decades ask.
The joinery works in solid oak, walnut and ash, air-dried three years before the saw earns its say. Frames are mortise-and-tenon, tops are breadboard-ended against the seasons, and finishes are oil and wax — surfaces that mend with a cloth rather than fail with a scratch.

Care
Oiled oak and walnut want coasters' logic and seasonal oiling: wipe dry daily, feed with the house oil twice a year, and lift rather than drag. Heat and water leave marks that the cloth-and-oil ritual erases.
Waxed surfaces refresh with a soft cloth; scratches retire under a fingertip of wax. Real damage goes to the joinery, which planes, patches and returns the piece to its own colour.
Questions, Answered
Do tables extend?
Extending models are stated with both lengths and seat counts; leaves store in felt bags inside the frame. Fixed tables are fixed — honesty over hinges where the design asks.
Is the furniture solid wood?
Solid oak, walnut and ash throughout — tops, frames and drawers; veneer appears only where marquetry asks for it and is stated when it does. The chalk under every piece names the joiner.
The ELZORVAN Promise
The house keeps open stock: service pieces, lids, knobs and trimmings stay orderable for fifteen years, and our bench re-tins copper, re-silvers flatware and re-oils oak on the honest schedule.
