Our fur­ni­ture col­lec­tion con­sists almost exclu­sively of hand made antique fur­ni­ture from the late 19th cen­tury and prior. The his­tory of the rela­tion­ship between humans and fur­ni­ture dates far back, and often defines the level of cul­tural advancement.

Within the same cul­ture or coun­try, many lev­els of soci­ety existed, and this is reflected in the fur­ni­ture. In a major city you would find the more sophis­ti­cated and refined pieces, com­pared to the remote coun­try­side where you get into more prim­i­tive exam­ples, and what is termed Folk Art.

Every one of our pieces could be con­sid­ered a piece of art, or as I like to call it, Func­tional Art. They were made by indi­vid­u­als with vary­ing degrees of skill, yet the pas­sion and per­sonal energy that went into each piece is evident.

Peo­ple have always had a very per­sonal rela­tion­ship with their fur­ni­ture, and a sort of bond is made. Some just can’t live with­out a piece, and some can’t live with it.

Antique fur­ni­ture is a pas­sion, it has to speak to you, it’s some­thing you can’t put to words, but you’re just drawn.
