As the 19th century drew to a close the ornate exuberance of the Victorian era gave way to a more restrained style, exuding confidence and quality, reflecting the mood of an Empire at the height of its power. The Rochester embodies the Edwardian style, where less is more, clarity with sophistication.

The flexibility of the Rochester design means that individual free-standing pieces of furniture can be created.

The simple lines of the cabinetry leave room for paint finishes of unrestricted creativity and sheer drama.
