Maitland Smith Furniture

The eclectic furnishings of Maitland-Smith celebrate artisan skills in an age of machines. Hand-carved woodwork, inlaid marquetry, painted detailing, gilding and lost wax casting lend the company’s decorative accents an artistic flair. Focused on pieces that add a dynamic flourish to an interior by incorporating tactile materials like leather, seashell inlays and crushed eggshell, the manufacturer draws inspiration across centuries, from the curvy forms of the Louis XV period to the geometric angles of mid-century modernism.

Paul Maitland-Smith established the company in Hong Kong in 1979, after getting his start in London in the 1950s as an antique dealer who also sold reproduction furniture, something that would become a Maitland-Smith specialty. The manufacturer’s early reproductions of 17th- and 18th-century furniture included Chippendale dining chairs, and soon afterward, Maitland-Smith expanded into a range of decorative designs that often exuded a whimsical spirit, whether a coffee table shaped like a stack of books or a pair of decorative obelisks. Maitland-Smith’s signature sculptural table lamps in particular show off this playful sensibility, with one balancing a pen-shell shade on a monkey’s tail and another taking on the form of a miniature hot-air balloon.

Since its founding, Maitland-Smith’s sourcing has been based in Asia, and although Paul Maitland-Smith later sold the company that still bears his name and is now headquartered in North Carolina, the brand’s furnishings are still largely made in Cebu, Philippines.

Today, Maitland-Smith continues to innovate on its finely crafted offerings by collaborating with contemporary designers and studios such as Tony Duquette Studios (founded by set and costume designer Tony Duquette in 1941), Celerie Kemble and painter and textile designer Susan Hable Smith.

Maitland Smith Marble and Bronze Sculptural Side / Accent Tables, a Pair
By Maitland Smith
Located in Culver City, CA
These tables are both stunning and intriguing. Cast bronze, marble and glass, these cocktail or side tables designed by Maitland Smith are evocative of Giacometti style workings. Three birds in bronze gathered around a birdbath or feeding dish bring that whimsy of Diego Giacometti, but with the refinement of classically elevated Maitland Smith design. These tables, while designed in the 1980's are so refined, they can easily be integrated into any mid century modern, brutalist, Danish modern, or contemporary environment. These tables, as photographed with the Papa Bear chair can add a bit of refined luxury and uniqueness to any environment. Definitely conversation pieces. Gorgeous transitional tables.
