Buy Georgian furniture Now !

I have recently done an interview with the bbc homes and antiques magazine and my comments are printed in the September issue. We talked about how reasonable Georgian furniture is to buy as the items are over 200 years old and are made from quality timber and have stunning character. To buy reproduction Georgian furniture it usually costs a lot more than the original piece and is not as good quality and does not come with the character that an original piece comes with. Also Georgian furniture is a good investment for the future but reproduction furniture will lose a large part of the value as soon as it leaves the shop.

During the Georgian period you had the great furniture makes and designers like

Robert Adam (1728 – 1792) Thomas Chippendale (1718 – 1779) George Hepplewhite and Thomas Sheraton (1751 – 1805).

These designers produced pieces form the Georgian period and other cabinet makers copied there designs adding their own unique detail to the pieces so every piece can be different in the detail.

Georgian furniture is stylish, simple and usually well built using quality timber. It is very reasonable to buy and will last 100s of years more. It come with beautiful character and is my favourite period of furniture design.
