Maple & Co was founded by John Maple who was a shopkeeper from Horley, Surrey, who then later opened a furniture shop in Tottenham Court Road. But it was his son, John Blundell Maple, who made the brand a success. By the 1880s they were one of the largest furniture stores in the world, exporting their fine pieces to every continent.

Maple & Co manufactured their luxury furniture entirely in-house in a large modern complex earning prestigious contracts to furnish fine houses, hotels, embassies and palaces in Europe, just some examples are Tsar Nicholas’s Winter Palace and the Hofburg Imperial Palace in Vienna.

Maple & Co produced a large catalogue of fine antique furniture, covering all styles of interior design from Aesthetic style carved oak dressers to Chippendale Revival antique dining chairs and Art Nouveau tulip carved antique dining tables. The high quality of craftsmanship of Maples’ antique cabinets, dining suites and bedroom furniture made Maple & Co highly popular with Britain’s social elite.

Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition.
