Before selecting your antiques we recommend that you think about how any antique dining room furniture will fit in with your existing décor, please take into account any existing colour schemes and the size of the room before you make any final decision. It is an attention to detail and an attention to customer care which has seen our customers return to us time after time and much of our new business is based on their personal word of mouth recommendations. In order to achieve this status we realise that we need to provide a first class service time after time which is exactly what we strive to do within every aspect of our business.

Antique Dining Furniture

Many people select antique furniture not only for its obvious aesthetic appeal but also its functional attributes. If you have ever stayed in a period house hotel you will know exactly what we mean when we say that there are few experiences that can compare with waking up in a Victorian four poster bed and having breakfast on original antique furniture tables especially if the accompanying décor and view is also of a classic genre. Amongst our most popular pieces for the bedroom are our selection of bedside cabinets, not only do these pieces serve a functional purpose they also add an untold amount of class and taste to the bedroom and would make almost perfect gifts for anyone with a real pride in the room they sleep in. There have been several documented if not fully substantiated studies relating to the décor of a room and the effect that the furnishing can have on sleeping patterns, although we cannot guarantee you a good nights sleep, what we guarantee is that the last thing you will see at night and the first thing you see in the morning will be of unquestionable class and quality. If you would like some additional information on the pieces we can supply for the bedroom please call us and we will attempt to provide you with a few examples for your perusal. From clocks to chandeliers to lamps, we are certain we have the period furniture for you.

Old Father Time

Nothing forms the centre piece of a room or provides as much functionality as a clock; this is especially true if the timepieces in question are antique clocks. If you have ever seen a realistic period drama with a quality cast you will, without a doubt, have noticed a clock on the set and the characters making constant reference to it and although not generally thought of as antique furniture in the furniture sense, certain pieces of quality antique bedroom furniture can really enhance a room. Care must be taken when selecting these particular pieces though as they do catch the attention of everyone that walks into a room and are sure to be commented upon. Like it or not, time is an integral part of our day to day to lives so it really does make sense to get a timepiece you can admire. Aside from clocks, another range that has seemingly been in evidence from early times are antique lamps, as items of bedroom furniture they are as invaluable now as they have always been and also provide just the right subtle shade of lighting for other rooms in a house, the level of light and the methods of lighting any room or area can really alter the atmosphere and contribute to any given moment or occasion. Mirrors are another item that have stayed in evidence ever since they were utilised in the way we know them today and the range of antique mirrors we stock are sure to remind you of the classic fairytale involving Alice and her adventures through the looking glass.

Personal Taste

No matter how well a particular piece of antique furniture is made and regardless how much a piece’s virtues are extolled by others the style chosen by a person ultimately comes down to personal taste. We have a diverse range of mahogany antique furniture and antique pine furniture for those collectors who require something a little different. Antique furniture dressers are good examples of pieces of furniture which have been made from a variety of different woods, these particular pieces have increased in popularity over the past few years and as a result we have been receiving numerous enquiries as to their availability. Due to their size, care must be taken by the potential buyer with respect to available space in their home, the more modern room generally has a lower ceiling which somewhat limits the choice for many people. If you have any question regarding the dimensions of our pieces in relation to your own home please call us for some additional details. Another item that was a regular fixture in homes from a bygone era was the bookcase, no self respecting; high brow, householder would be without one. Although a number of stately homes had a library there were often numerous bookcases scattered throughout the house for the more casual reader. We often stock a number of antique bookcases for the more discerning reader; please keep returning to our site for the latest offerings. From Edwardian antique furniture to French antique furniture, we are the only realistic choice in South East England.

Quality Furnishings

A person’s home is without doubt the single biggest investment they will make in their lives so it makes good sense to show some pride and furnish it to the best standard possible. Although antique furniture does not suit everyone’s home or indeed personal taste, there are some pieces, particularly Georgian antique furniture, which would compliment any home. Such is the timeless appeal of some of these pieces that they will sit effortlessly in tandem with the latest technology. Antique clocks and antique lamps are good examples of items that can be placed anywhere in any style of house and still suit the existing décor. Antique furniture chairs are a little different as pieces of this stature will more often than not change the appearance of a room as could other pieces of antique dining furniture. Please take as much time as you need when selecting your furniture, these are certainly not decisions to be rushed. If you are looking for a small addition to your home that will not be too overbearing, antique bookcases are usually a safe bet. Lovingly maintained using the latest antique furniture restoration techniques, these particular pieces make ideal gifts for those special people on that very special occasion. For the finest antiques in combination with the best customer service you will find anywhere please give us a call, we are happy to help. Your perfect piece really is our job satisfaction.
