Reproduction Walnut Furniture

What is reproduction walnut furniture?

So what is reproduction walnut furniture? Collins dictionary defines reproduction furniture as “furniture that is made in an imitation or copy of a past style”.

Antique reproduction furniture is made to look exactly like antique furniture but at a lower price. Our reproduction walnut furniture is made using tried and tested joinery techniques such as  mortise and tenon joints and dovetails in drawers. Frames are made from solid wood for example beech wood or mindi wood. High grade walnut veneers are then applied to the solid wood frames by skilled craftsman. To finish the look handles, hinges and fixings made from solid brass are applied.

What style is reproduction furniture?

Reproduction furniture tends to be in a classic style meaning it won’t go out of fashion. Some of the examples you will find are based on classic English, French and Italian designs with pieces from the Victoria and Georgian eras as well as French provincial style furniture. Many other styles are also available.

Why choose reproduction furniture?

Reproduction furniture tends to be made to a very high standard and could, in time, become antiques in their own right. If you trying to create a classic, elegant style within your home antique reproduction furniture is ideal.

Our reproduction walnut furniture is available for many rooms of your home. Items include:

• Dining tables
• Chairs
• Chests of drawers
• Display cabinets
• Desks and bureaus
• Bookcases
• Occasional tables

What are the advantages of buying reproduction furniture?

Although a house full of real antiques might be appealing it would be incredibly expensive to achieve. A large dining table for instance would cost several thousands of pounds and that is before you splash out on some chairs! The reproduction equivalent would be much more reasonably priced and probably not nearly as expensive as you might think.

Another advantage of reproduction furniture is that, unlike the modern day equivalent, you can often have your desired piece made to your requirements. We offer a bespoke service so if you need a piece of furniture altered to suit it shouldn’t be a problem. Have a look at our bespoke page for more information on having furniture made to your requirements.

As reproduction furniture is usually fully assembled there is no need to mess around with nuts, bolts, screws and so on. Just place your piece of furniture where you want it and you can just sit back and admire it.

Cost is another factor to consider. Although, on the face of it, the antique reproduction piece may seem slightly more expensive than its modern counterpart the chances are it will be a lot better made and last you longer making it cheaper in the long term and a very good investment.

Another benefit of walnut reproduction furniture is that it will blend well with furniture you already own. Burr walnut has a variation in colour tones rather than being a solid looking piece of wood, meaning you can mix and match with items you already own. Reproduction pieces can also look good combined with more modern pieces for an eclectic look.
