The bespoke journey
Bespoke work is Robertson's specialism. A project starts with a brief, moves to sketches and 3D-modelled prototypes that can be reviewed and refined, and is then produced and hand-finished in the workshop in England, with quality checks before delivery. The brand describes its approach as the toolmaker's mindset: with the right means, anything is possible.
Finishes
Robertson's standard finishes include Polished and Satin Nickel, Dark Imitation Bronze, Burnished Bronze, Light and Medium Brushed Antique, Light Antique Brass, Polished and Satin Brass, Satin and Polished Chrome, Light, Mid, Dark and standard Antique Nickel, Polished Black Nickel, and Matt and Polished Black Chrome. A sample box of finish discs is available for client projects, and samples of marble, leather and timber can be requested.
Heritage
Robertson traces its story to 1892, when W. M. Dunn established the original family hardware company. The craft passed down the generations into engineering and toolmaking, and three generations on the company was re-established as Robertson Technical in 2000. Its factory in Surrey, near the Surrey Hills, combines CNC machining with hand finishing by skilled artisans.
