Antique furniture

This is our full collection of antique furniture, covering every category we carry, from dining tables and chairs to cabinets, side tables, beds, and decorative pieces.

Antique Furniture for Sale

Antique furniture occupies a different category from vintage furniture or modern reproduction. A genuine antique is at least a hundred years old, which means every piece of furniture in this collection was made by hand, from solid wood or quality veneered wood, at a time when the craftsman building it expected it to last indefinitely. That expectation is visible in the joinery, the materials, and the way these pieces have aged.

The antique furniture pieces here span roughly three centuries of European production, with particular strength in French, German, Dutch, and English furniture from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. Each item has been individually assessed, and where restoration has been carried out, it has been done in the atelier by specialists working with period-appropriate materials and traditional methods.

Antique Chairs

Chairs are the most used pieces of furniture in any interior, and antique chairs prove their quality through decades and centuries of daily use. This collection covers dining chairs, armchairs, side chairs, wingback chairs, and desk chairs across a range of styles and periods. English Georgian and Chippendale examples sit alongside French fauteuils, Biedermeier occasional chairs, and early 20th century lounge seating. Upholstered pieces have been assessed for frame condition and reupholstered where necessary in materials appropriate to the chair’s age and style.

Antique Tables

The table category covers a wide range of forms and functions. Large oak dining tables built for farmhouses and manor houses, Regency mahogany dining tables on pedestal bases, drop leaf tables for smaller rooms, and side table forms including console tables, occasional tables, lamp tables, and sofa tables. French and European examples feature strongly, with marble top pieces, marquetry surfaces, and the refined craftsmanship of 18th century continental workshops. A good antique table is a functional piece of furniture that also changes the character of a room in a way that new furniture rarely does.

Antique Cabinets and Storage

The cabinet and storage category includes display cabinets, bookcases, sideboards, credenzas, and decorative cabinet pieces across a range of periods and styles. A well-made antique cabinet in oak or mahogany with its original door hardware, interior shelves, and surface finish is a practical storage item and a genuinely collectible piece of furniture at the same time. French armoires, Dutch kas cabinets, and English breakfront bookcases all appear in this category, as do smaller collector’s cabinets and drawer units that work as accent pieces in a contemporary interior.

Antique Beds and Bedroom Furniture

Antique beds require more practical consideration than most furniture, since they need to work with standard modern mattress sizes, but the right antique bed frame changes a bedroom entirely. Iron and brass beds from the late 19th and early 20th century are among the most practical options, since the frame can usually be adapted without compromising the piece. Wooden beds in oak, walnut, or mahogany from the same period offer a different aesthetic, with carved headboards and solid construction that modern bed frames do not approach.

Antique Lighting and Decorative Items

Antique lighting, including bronze and metal lamp bases, chandeliers, wall sconces, and table lamps, completes an interior in a way that contemporary lighting often cannot. The material quality of a bronze lamp base or a gilded metal frame from the early 20th century is immediately apparent, and the warm light these pieces produce suits an antique interior naturally. Decorative items in this collection include mirrors, clocks, and smaller collectible pieces that add personality and contrast to a setting without requiring significant floor space.

About Antiqueria Breitling

Antiqueria Breitling was founded by a collector who began acquiring European antique furniture in the 1980s. By the 1990s the collection had grown varied and deep enough to offer pieces for sale, and the business developed from there into what it is today. The focus has always been on quality over volume, on French, German, and Dutch furniture in particular, and on the Baroque, Empire, Classicism, and Biedermeier styles that represent the high point of European cabinet making.

Every piece that enters the collection is examined thoroughly before it is offered for sale. Restoration work is carried out in the in-house atelier by a team of ten specialist craftsmen using traditional techniques including French polishing, marquetry, wax finishing, and inlay repair. The goal is always to bring a piece back to honest condition without erasing the evidence of its age. A piece of furniture that has been over-restored loses something that cannot be put back. The work here is done with that in mind.

The result is a collection of authentic antique furniture pieces with documented condition and professionally executed restoration where needed, available through the webshop with worldwide shipping.
