Groth & Sons

Well it’s been a couple of years since I came across the mastery of Amos Groth and what now is proudly our Live-in Library I recall the minute I met you and you stood in our spare room bursting with books piled in every space, books that needed a place to shine, and nearly tripping over a pile, I recall you took "Oscar Wilde” off the shelf. I knew then that the conversation we were about to have would be the beginning of a dream come true. You listened and heard and even though we knew that it was a challenge with space, height and size, your positivity guided us. Nothing was ever too difficult or too “out there” Every book needed a place and you knew that the only way was to turn our living/dining room into what is now, our beautiful live- in library. Our hopes exactly. You listened closely. You incorporated my insistence for an easel for our large books which allows me to turn the page to a new piece of art every day. Your masterful eye saw a way of incorporating our treasured and huge Kahlil Gibran portrait into the bookcase as a backdrop to our priceless collection of his works. Amos, you didn't just build a bespoke bookcase you transformed our space so that we and all who come to our home enjoy a great meal, a glass of red, warm lighting and a book or two ...without even leaving the table. And now, a few years on, our live-in and living library is well and truly lived in. And every day it takes our breath away. With gratitude and proudly surrounded by books, Judy and Charlie

To whom it may concern, A few years ago, I was searching for a company able to build my lifelong dream- a home library. After meeting Amos Groth, of Groth and Sons, I knew he was up to the task. Classically trained and capable of the level of craftsmanship required, I have not regretted it a day since. The result we achieved is a most impressive accomplishment. Amos is a Master Craftsman; third generation in fact, and it shows. Amos and I worked closely over three years, from our first meeting until completion, to bring my dream to life. Any request I had was taken seriously and respectfully. Amos would inject his experience and thoughts, and with this combined effort, we achieved all our goals. Amos and his son, Oliver, are bright, happy individuals, and so focused on the job. They are nothing short of professional, dedicated and passionate and treated the project as though it was their own. This personal care and love they put into their work remains within the library walls until this day. It was a privilege to have them construct a dream before my eyes. I cannot recommend more the work of Amos and his team at Groth and Sons. Dany M Hatem.

I chanced upon Groth & Sons online and called to speak with Amos who turned out to be even more passionate than me about creating a library in my 1920's apartment. From the first conversation, through the design phase and onto the installation of the finished product the whole process and result exceeded my expectations. Amos and his son Oscar are amazing craftsmen with a keen eye for detail and quality finish and just simply a delight to work with. I couldn't recommend them more highly.
