Croft products have been used for a new display in the Museum of the Home
Earlier this year the architectural ironmongers was approached by joinery outfit Todi and Boys to supply the window furniture for the Real Rooms project with the Museum of the Home in Hoxton, London. The Real Rooms project seeks to tell the stories of normal families through time, as told by item-by-item recreations of their homes. The Real Rooms exhibit features rooms ranging from a hall in 1630 that would have housed servants through to a near-future imagining of a converted flat in 2040.
The products are playing a part in telling the story of the Delinskys – an East London Jewish family, living in a tenement flat in 1913.
As was common in the 1910s, the Jewish tenement flat features single pane sash windows. In line with the popular designs of the time Croft supplied Straight Arm Sash Fasteners, Cast Sash Lifts, and Square Edge Sash Pulleys, all in a Polished Brass Unlacquered finish which naturally patinas over time to create an aged finish befitting 1913.
Croft said of the display: "Our far-reaching and versatile portfolio is the key factor in us having the opportunity to be a part of historical exhibits, and we are proud to have supported such an important project."
