Antique furniture has character; it reminds us of a more romantic era when life was not so rushed. Dressing tables have mirrors that can often be adjusted to suit your height, and those tiny drawers up the top are just right for keeping make-up in. Some even have marble tops.

Antique wardrobes offer both hanging space and one or two drawers at the bottom to store anything from winter clothing and a spare blanket through to linen or other sundry items. In addition, they look beautiful – much nicer than their modern counterparts made of imitation timber or Laminex. The doors and drawers of antique furniture continue to open and close for many years because the timber and fittings are built to last. This is why so many people are becoming entranced with antique furniture.

It’s almost like an abstract work of art created by nature – with a little help from a craftsman who loves working with timber and the desire to create a beautiful piece of antique furniture.
