Title A name given to the resource Lynwood Carvers and Gilders Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived dumfriesandgalloway Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 1092 Type The nature or genre of the resource Museum Description An account of the resource Here, by the side of a quiet lane in Eskdalemuir, you will find a small stone house housing a most unusual cottage industry.Two generations of the Chinnery family work here, breaking new ground in the traditional skills of gilding and woodcarving.  You will see beautiful antique gilding work on frames and mirrors, but also contemporary designs using gold – not the old fashioned medium one may first think it – but full of light and reflection.Sam Chinnery, Nancy and John’s son, is a furniture designer working in wood, and you will be able to see his unique pieces, inspired by simple shapes and what he calls “simple, honest construction”.Attached to the side of the stone cottage is a corrugated iron lean-to which has for many years housed Eskdalemuir’s post office.  Take a peep inside to absorb the charm of tiny rural post offices, complete with the original brass scales, and 1950s cupboards.
