Bespoke Gun Room
Artichokes experienced team always aims to produce beautiful, high quality furniture – and a gun room is no exception. We are often commissioned to spec custom gun rooms in private country houses, across the UK and internationally.
Most of Artichokes management team have been brought up in rural environments, and are still members of their local shooting syndicate. We therefore, have great understanding of the specialist requirements in a gun room. Location, security, humidity, materials and storage are just some of the things we consider in the design.
Form and Function
A gun room is so much more than a storage facility, it is an integral part of many country houses. Artichoke will design the perfect space for you to clean, keep and show off your collection.
Every aspect of an Artichoke gun room is thoroughly considered, for example:
- Creative space planning to optimise the flow of the room
- Custom made furniture and storage options
- Period detail and architectural features of the house
- High quality materials and techniques
- Robust security
We maintain a close relationship with our local Police Firearms Officer, and keep up to date on legislation regarding safe storage of shotguns and rifles.
Case Study: Gun and Sporting Room, Shaftesbury, Dorset
European Oak and leather were the two main materials used to create this bespoke gun and sporting room. Some of the delicate detail, which made this room so special, included angled storage for each gun, and padded hide to protect the stocks. In addition, we put a slight slope around the edge on the central island, thus preventing cartridges and gun equipment from falling to the floor.
Craftmanship and Delivery
Artichoke is passionate about creating outstanding interior joinery. Once the design process is complete, our team of skilled cabinet makers will bring it to life in our workshop in rural Somerset.
Every project we take on is supported from concept, to installation by our dedicated team. Their knowledge and expertise means we are capable of delivering technically complex projects, at a very high standard.
