Jonhstone & Jeanes were one of the finest cabinet makers and upholsterers of the 19th century. John Johnstone and Robert Jupe, trading as Johnstone, Jupe & Co., had been making high quality furniture together, including a patented metamorphic extending dining table. They parted company in 1840 and Jupe relocated to Welbeck Street before Johnstone and Jeanes partnered in 1842 trading from 67 New Bond Street. Johnstone and Jeanes (& Co.) were recorded in the Lord Chamberlain’s accounts, 1837-85. The firm charged 7s 2d per day for each cabinet maker and upholsterer working at Buckingham Palace

Specialising in tables and with a burgeoning reputation, they exhibited at all the major exhibitions. Notably London in 1851 and ’62 and Paris in 1878. With an aristocratic client list, the Royal collection acquired a walnut veneered table from the firm.

The firm traded for around another forty years creating beautiful furniture from the finest timbers and materials available.

FAQs

Victorian furniture encompasses a range of revival styles prevalent during the reign of Queen Victoria, characterised by substantial construction, dark woods like mahogany and walnut, and meticulous craftsmanship reflecting the industrial capabilities and aesthetic tastes of the period.

High-end cabinet makers during the 19th century predominantly utilised solid timber carcasses such as mahogany, rosewood, and oak, frequently featuring fine veneer work, hand-cut dovetail joints, and turned wooden or brass hardware.

Authentic pieces can be identified by examining construction methods, such as hand-cut dovetails on drawer boxes, traditional timber shrinkage, original backboards, period-appropriate fixings, and maker stamps or signatures when available.

Pairing dark wood antique furniture with neutral wall colours, contemporary lighting, and minimalist textiles creates a balanced interior that highlights the rich grain and historical character of the pieces without overwhelming the room.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting. Dust regularly with a dry cloth and occasionally apply high-quality beeswax to nourish the wood and preserve the patina.
