The Standard Range

The Deben

The cabinet the range is drawn from, and the one most people start with. A glazed upper section over a solid base cupboard with its own lock, a hand-carved dentil cornice, fluted stiles and quarter-sawn oak throughout.

Two-door glazed oak gun cabinet with a dentil cornice, eight shotguns racked upright behind the glass, in a panelled study
The Deben in oak. Two bays, eight guns, and the ammunition cupboard below with its own lock.

Behind the glass the guns stand upright in a felt-lined rack cut to your own list, with a brass-fitted rail at the top and the butts resting on a padded base. Nothing touches anything else.

The base cupboard is not a plinth with a door on it. It is a separately locked ammunition compartment, so securing the cartridges does not depend on securing the guns, and the other way about.

One bay is one door and takes four shotguns, or three with scopes left mounted. The design runs from a single bay in an alcove to five along a wall, and the cornice, stiles and plinth are the same at either end.
