Gengarelly cabinets are for those who would like to have a distinctive piece of furniture, befitting the prized collection that it holds. Each cabinet is designed and built one at a time, on commission, and is one of a kind.
The furniture style of the cabinet is determined, of course, by what most appeals to the client. The examples pictured on these pages were chosen because they show a number of furniture making elements – classical proportions, complex joinery, veneering, architectural carving, turning, and inlay – combined in a single piece.
Watch winder cabinets
Fine automatic watches are exquisite mechanical marvels and Gengarelly watch winder cabinets are designed to complement and enhance the owner’s collection.
The watch winder mechanisms are made by Orbita®, the world’s leading producer of high quality winders. The client may choose either the programmable or rotorwind model, or a combination of the two.
Table top cabinets are usually the best choice for a piece containing up to 30 winders. Large table top cabinets are typically more than 36 inches wide and will often look best on a specially made stand. For a large collection, freestanding cabinets are the most functional and well proportioned.
Jewelry cabinets
The only way to have a jewelry cabinet that is perfectly suited to your collection and your taste in furniture is to have one custom made. This extends even to basic function. For example, a piece that is both a watch winder and jewelry cabinet has proven to be ideal for some clients.
Whether the design is simple or elaborate, a common feature of every Gengarelly cabinet is quality construction. Drawers are built with hand cut dovetails. Linings are suede or kidskin. Interior framework that will never be seen is nonetheless built with precision and attention to detail, using age old methods and durable materials. The finish is carefully applied and hand rubbed to create a beautiful surface that is also pleasing to the touch.
Humidor cabinets
Humidor cabinets are built with the same attention to appearance and quality as all other Gengarelly cabinets. In addition, the cabinets are designed to fulfill the most essential requirement of a humidor – to keep cigars in excellent condition.
No matter what size or style, every humidor is made to ensure that fine cigars are stored properly. All humidor linings, shelves, drawers, and trays are Spanish cedar. No finishing materials are used on any surface that will come in contact with cigars. Humidifiers are correctly matched to cabinet volume, and interiors are designed to allow adequate air circulation.
Other furniture
Commissions for fine pieces other than those described above are welcomed. Whether it be a table, desk, bureau, sideboard, or suite of furniture, all pieces are built to be outstanding in quality and design. To inquire about having furniture made for you, please see the contact page.
