Edwards & Roberts

The firm Edwards & Roberts was one of the best English antique furniture cabinet makers of the second half of the eighteenth century. The company was founded in 1845 and by 1854 was trading as ‘Edwards & Roberts’, 21 Wardour Street, Antique and Modern Cabinet Makers and Importers of Ancient Furniture’. By 1892 they occupied more than a dozen buildings in Wardour Street, where they continued to trade until the end of the century.

They became one of the leading London cabinet makers and retailers producing high quality furniture and working in a variety of styles, both modern and revivalist. Their business also involved retailing, adapting and restoring the finest antique furniture and there are many examples of their earlier furniture with later embellishments bearing their stamp. The quality of timber used was always the best quality with fine burr walnuts, finely figured mahogany and lighter toned satinwood as they specialised in marquetry, inlay and ormolu.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Produced during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these cabinets reflect a revival of 18th-century classical styles, characterised by light proportions, fine marquetry, and glazed upper sections for display purposes.

Cabinetmakers typically crafted these pieces from dense mahogany or rosewood, incorporating intricate satinwood, boxwood, and ebony marquetry inlays alongside glass panelling and brass fitments.

Authentic pieces often feature maker stamps or metal plaques on drawer edges or backboards, precise dovetail joints, finely hand-cut marquetry, and original brass locks or keys.

Position the cabinet against a neutral wall to highlight the inlaid timber, using the interior glass shelves to display curated contemporary ceramics, glassware, or art objects.

Keep the timber out of direct sunlight and away from central heating sources to prevent veneer lifting, and clean glass surfaces with a microfibre cloth while polishing wood with natural beeswax.
