The Epstein company was founded in London during the 1890’s by Morris Epstein. In the creatively rich metropolis of early 20th century London, the Epstein Brothers iconised Art Deco furniture. Creating high quality, luxurious items designed to last lifetimes, the Epstein Company’s ‘trade-mark style’ paved the way for conservative Art Deco. Most Epstein pieces are produced from burr maple, sycamore and walnut veneer, paired with alluring soft cream leather upholstery. Their ‘cloud designs’ defined an era and still bare the same intended luxe today. The company continued to thrive throughout the mid-20th century, even through the challenges of World War II and the post-war period. In the 1950s and 1960s, Harry & Lou Epstein embraced the growing trend for mid-century modern furniture, and their designs became increasingly influenced by the clean lines and simplicity of Scandinavian design.

All of our furniture is extensively polished and restored where necessary to the highest standards.
