Furniture is far more than a practical necessity; it defines the character of a room and reflects the craftsmanship, design and cultural influences of its time. At Markies Antiques, our furniture collection brings together an exceptional selection of original pieces spanning the late nineteenth century through to the mid-twentieth century, with a particular emphasis on Art Deco, Modernist and carefully selected antique furniture. Every item is chosen for its quality, originality and enduring appeal, offering collectors and homeowners the opportunity to acquire furniture that combines history with everyday functionality.

Our collection is best known for its outstanding range of Art Deco furniture, featuring elegant sideboards, cocktail cabinets, dining tables, extending dining suites, wardrobes, dressing tables, desks, bookcases, occasional tables and seating by some of Britain's most respected designers and cabinet makers. Pieces by Betty Joel, Harry & Lou Epstein, Bath Cabinet Makers and Maurice Adams regularly feature within our stock, reflecting a period when furniture was designed to last a lifetime rather than a season.

Alongside these celebrated names, our collection often includes Scandinavian and European furniture that demonstrates the evolution of twentieth-century design. From clean architectural lines to beautifully figured veneers and sculptural forms, these pieces remain as relevant in contemporary interiors as they were when they were first created.

The materials used throughout our furniture collection reflect the exceptional standards of craftsmanship associated with the finest cabinet makers. Rich burr walnut, figured walnut, Macassar ebony, maple and other carefully selected veneers showcase the natural beauty of timber while highlighting the remarkable skill involved in traditional furniture making. Many pieces retain original handles, locks, fittings and polished finishes, preserving their authenticity and historical character.

Dining furniture forms an important part of our collection, with extending tables, dining chairs and complete suites offering practical solutions for modern living while retaining the elegance of original period design. Equally popular are our sideboards and display cabinets, which combine generous storage with striking visual impact, making them ideal focal points for both classic and contemporary homes.

Bedroom furniture continues to attract collectors seeking originality and craftsmanship. Dressing tables, wardrobes, bedside cabinets and chests of drawers from the Art Deco period provide beautifully proportioned storage while adding warmth and individuality to interior spaces. Their quality of construction ensures they remain functional and desirable decades after they were first produced.

Occasional furniture also plays a significant role within our collection. Coffee tables, console tables, nest tables, desks and bookcases provide versatile pieces that complement a wide variety of interiors. Whether furnishing a period property or introducing a statement piece into a modern home, these items offer both practicality and timeless style.

Every piece within our furniture collection is individually selected by our experienced team. We consider craftsmanship, condition, originality and overall design before offering any item for sale, ensuring our customers can buy with confidence. Where appropriate, furniture is sympathetically restored to preserve its character while ensuring it can continue to be enjoyed for many years to come.

As our stock changes regularly, each visit to Markies Antiques offers the opportunity to discover something unique. Whether you are searching for an investment-quality Art Deco sideboard, an elegant dining suite, a beautifully crafted cabinet or a distinctive occasional piece, our carefully curated furniture collection represents some of the finest examples of British and European design. Combining exceptional craftsmanship, authentic materials and timeless aesthetics, these pieces continue to demonstrate why original furniture remains one of the most rewarding investments for collectors and design enthusiasts alike.
