• Art Deco

  Our Art Deco collection is inspired by the modern furniture designs that first appeared in France following World War I and continued on through the 1940s. The Art Deco style is characterized by streamlined, Machine Age forms and images with rich colors, lavish ornamentation, and bold geometric patterns. Its distinctive symmetry and rectilinear design style marked a departure from the organic and curvilinear style of the Art Nouveau period which preceded it. Throughout this era, the Art Deco style evoked a sense of luxury and glamour, and reflected the rapid pace of technological progress that occurred during the industrialization of the early to mid-20th century.

• Chippendale

  Our Chippendale collection is inspired by Thomas Chippendale's 18th century furniture designs. Chippendale applied the Chinoiserie style of that era to his classic English look.  Chinese Chippendale designs were embellished with architectural details from Chinese temples and palaces.  Chippendale's seamless blending of English, Rococo and Chinese design elements set a new standard in European furniture design and created a classic style that has remained popular for more than two centuries.  All of our Chippendale pieces are not only functional but provide elegant design focal points as well.

• Dynasty

  Our Dynasty Collection is inspired by various Chinese furniture designs which boast a history that spans over 4000 years. Classical Chinese furniture traces its origins back to the Tang Dynasty of the first millennium and reached its golden age during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. During this era, master artisans elevated furniture making into an art form. Their pieces were not only used indoors, but also adorned the royal gardens of the emperor, his court, and the Chinese aristocracy. Furniture from this period is prized for its beauty, elegance and design harmony. The distinctive elements of these furniture designs have remained popular in the West since their introduction in the seventeenth century.

• English Conservatory

  Our English Conservatory collection features pieces inspired by a variety of design styles from the Victorian, Regency, and Empire periods. The original pieces adorned the sophisticated formal gardens and conservatories of France and England during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Most of our conservatory wirework and ornamental pieces are authentic reproductions that are of the same scale and design as the originals.

• Faux Bamboo

  Our Faux Bamboo collection is inspired by the furniture design style that began with the Louis XVI era Chinoiserie and reached its pinnacle in the Royal Pavilion furniture that John Nash designed for the Prince Regent George IV. This design style was heavily influenced by various Oriental design patterns for fretwork, arm rests, back rests, and leg details. We do not use pre-formed material for our Faux Bamboo pieces. Instead, each of the joints or "nodes" in our pieces is individually hand-forged by our master artisans prior to assembly and welding. This important distinction differentiates the pieces in our collection from mass-produced faux bamboo furniture and gives our collection a more natural appearance.

• French Bistro

  Our French Bistro collection is inspired by the cafe tables, pub stools and tables, and other related pieces that originated in 19th century France. Bistro furniture was originally created for commercial use in small cafes and restaurants across France and eventually spread to the rest of Europe. While many of the bistro furniture designs first appeared in French urban areas, the furniture quickly found its way to the provinces and became popular for residential use in country homes and estates. Today, bistro furniture includes a variety of designs from simple, rectangular slatted chairs to Bugey style chairs with more intricate wire scrollwork. A bistro set typically consists of a small round or oval table and matching chairs. The smaller scale of a typical bistro furniture set provides a more intimate setting for two or three people.

• French Provincial

  Our French Provincial collection is inspired by the French Provincial furniture that graced country homes and farm houses in Normandy, Provence and Bordeaux from the 18th to mid-19th centuries. This furniture was produced by French artisans in provincial centers such as Blois, Orleans and Lyon who crafted rustic versions of the elaborate Louis XV and Rococo furniture that was popular in Paris. Their designs combined form and functionality with grace, and made finer living accessible to those who lived in the countryside.

• French Royal

  Our French Royal collection traces its origin back to the grand tradition of French royal furniture. French royal furniture was made exclusively for the royal palace, the palace court and the aristocratic class under the auspices of the great Parisian trade guilds. This style represents the most sophisticated furniture manufactured in Paris during the eighteenth century. Some of the most beautiful and refined furniture ever produced was created during this period.

• Gothic Revival

  Our Gothic Revival collection is inspired by the Gothic castle furniture designs of the Middle Ages and the Victorian Gothic period furniture of nineteenth century England. Gothic era design is unique in that is the only European architectural style that is not based on classical design patterns. Many of the design elements of the Gothic style originated from the architecture of the opulent churches of the Middle Ages and include: pointed or cusped arches, elaborate tracery, columns, and trefoil or quatrefoil details.

• Greek Key

  Our Greek Key collection is inspired by the Klismos furniture style of ancient Greece and incorporates the timeless design element known as the Greek Key or Meander. While the earliest Greek furniture was influenced by Egyptian designs, by the 5th century B.C. Greek furniture makers had developed their own style which is embodied in the classic Klismos chair. As a result, their furniture became less square and rigid and more curved and elegant. Furthermore, its smooth and flowing shape inspired cultures of the Middle Ages and the early 19th Century to revive the concept.

• Neoclassic

  Our Neoclassic collection is inspired by the Neoclassic style of eighteenth century Europe. This style arose in England and France from a renewed interest in classic Greek and Roman architecture during that time. Neoclassical style is noted for its bold, straight lines and linear forms. Neoclassical designs reflect a distinct transition in which geometric shape and form replaced the opulent designs and the serpentine curves of the Rococo period. As a result, both English and French furniture designs during the second half of the eighteenth century showed strong Greek and Roman influences.

• Regency

  Our Regency collection is inspired by the Regency period of Britain under the proxy reign of the Prince Regent George IV. This short era, which lasted from 1811-1820, gave rise to a new design style that followed the neo-classical Georgian Style of the 18th century by adding an elegance and lightness of touch. John Nash, one of the great architects of this period, designed the world renowned Regency terraces of Regent's Park and Regent Street in London. During the Regency period, the use of elegant, wrought iron architectural design elements became popular.

• Tuscany

  Our Tuscany collection is inspired by the iron furniture produced in Tuscany, Italy. Long considered the birthplace of the Renaissance, the Tuscany region of Italy is renowned for its rich, artistic legacy. The region's cultural heritage features timeless contributions by some of the grand masters of art, literature and music including Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Dante and Puccini. For centuries, the master furniture makers of the Tuscany region have produced various styles of wrought iron furniture ranging from Gothic to neo-classical. Furniture and decorative works featuring these classic designs continue to adorn estates and formal gardens throughout the Mediterranean coastal areas.

• Victorian Wire

  Our Victorian Wire collection features designs inspired by the formal garden furniture and ornamental products that were introduced in France and England during the Victorian period. One of the technological advances that resulted from the Industrial Revolution was the use of wire in the decorative arts and furniture. By the middle of the 19th century, wire was used to make tables, etageres, jardinieres, and garden chairs. These elegant designs have remained popular since their introduction and can be found in homes and gardens around the world.
