Oak cut string staircase with decorative brackets

We manufactured this staircase back in 2011 for a repeat customer in London.
We made this rather beautiful traditional cut string staircase to their dimensions.

This staircase features a "cut string" up the inside. Instead of the spindles sitting on top of the string, the string is cut away, and the spindles sit on top of the treads.

Decorative brackets are also featured on this staircase. These are pieces of timber planted onto the side immediately below the treads.
Each bracket is bespoke to the stair, and various styles are available (both traditional and modern). These brackets feature a chamfer to match the balustrade and give a more contemporary finish.

Some examples of the brackets we can offer are below:

N.B. It's also possible to have a cut-string stair without brackets.

This staircase was finished with a gloss varnish.
This has become less popular, with more people opting for matt or satin finishes.
The difference between the raw oak (in factory photos) and the finished stair is stark.

The pictures and plan view show that this staircase was manufactured with the top post stepped back.
A customer request; we wouldn't recommend this due to the way the property worked.

This staircase features two traditional curved feature treads:

• Tread one is a double-going curtail.
• Tread two is a single-going curtail.

These two feature treads allow the bottom post to be set back by two treads (approx 500mm). Allowing the hallway to feel bigger and giving the staircase a grander appearance.

This staircase signature handrail, which we only sell as a special order.
Please get in touch if you require this handrail profile on your stairs.
