Antique Decorative Furniture

A curated collection of antique decorative furniture personally sourced and selected by three generations of the Hawkins family since 1960. Browse antique planters, pedestals, screens, fire screens, jardinières, torchères, and occasional stands — including fine English and French examples chosen for craftsmanship, originality, and decorative presence. Every piece is available from our Barry, South Wales showroom with free UK mainland delivery included.

Decorative furniture plays an important role in creating layered and characterful interiors. A carved pedestal can elevate sculpture or porcelain, while an antique jardinière or planter introduces scale, texture, and architectural interest to a room. Folding screens and fire screens provide both practicality and decorative appeal, often showcasing fine carving, embroidery, ormolu mounts, or painted decoration.

Our collection includes Victorian, Regency, Edwardian, and decorative French furniture in a wide variety of styles and materials. We regularly source giltwood torchères, marble pedestals, lacquered screens, walnut jardinières, carved oak stands, and unusual decorative furniture pieces suited to both traditional and contemporary interiors.

If you are looking to buy antique decorative furniture in the UK, you are purchasing directly from experienced antique dealers with decades of specialist knowledge. We describe condition accurately, including restorations, structural integrity, surface wear, and age-related patina, while providing clear photography and nationwide delivery.
