Gothic Revival Furniture

Gothic Revival Style

The Gothic Revival movement (also called Victorian Gothic or Neo-Gothic) emerged in Britain in the 1740s, and reached its height in the late-19th century. Gothic Revival furniture's characteristics include such decorative flourishes as pointed arches, floral details, finials, heraldic motifs and linenfold carving.

The movement was rooted in religious and social conservatism. Gothic Revival's proponents, who included Charles Barry and A.W.N. Pugin, the architects of London’s Houses of Parliament (designed in 1840), believed that the art and architecture of the Middle Ages were authentically spiritual and inherently moral.

In the United States, the Gothic Revival movement shaped both public buildings and private houses. Numerous American schools were built in the early-19th century in a style now called Collegiate Gothic. Many builders and craftsmen were inspired by Andrew Jackson Downing’s widely read 1850 book Architecture for Country Houses, which posited that a family’s home should exemplify their values — and that the Gothic Revival style was particularly well-suited to scholars and clergymen. Furniture with detailing that mirrored that of Gothic Revival buildings appeared in the same period. Such pieces typically feature dark, intricately carved wood, and upholstery in velvet or leather.

Much like the castles or cathedrals that inspired them, Gothic Revival chairs, bookcases and beds make a bold design statement. And while you probably don’t have to cross a moat or raise a portcullis to get through your front door, a Gothic Revival piece will declare that your home is indeed your castle.

Antique Gilt Wooden Gothic Art Hand Carved Gargoyle Wall Bracket Shelf / Corbel
Located in Lisse, NL
Stunning and amazingly hand carved, Gothic gargoyle bracket. If you are a collector of rare and striking Gothic antiques then this bracket could be the perfect addition to your collection. This all handcrafted and marvellously hand carved antique wall bracket in the form of a squated and winged gargoyle with a grotesque head is one of the best works of Gothic art we have ever seen. Its perfect posture and the top quality carved details of its creepy head, its lion's tail, its claw feet and its deeply carved wings are some of the elements that make this antique truly extraordinary. The beautifully carved edge on the shelf has the most amazing shape and combined with the ancient patina of its entirely gilt surface, this Gothic Revival bracket is an absolute joy to look at. This finest quality antique can be the perfect base or display for a statuette, a small clock, a vase, etc. However, because of its uniqueness, its top quality workmanship and its extreme decorative appeal, this wall bracket certainly does not need anything on top. Thanks to the brass hooks on the back this fascinating gargoyle shelf...

Rare & Handcrafted Gothic Revival Bronzed Metal Knight with Sword Chandelier
Located in Lisse, NL
Stylish and highly decorative six-light medieval style pendant light. With early 20th century lighting as one of our specialities, we have seen a lot of great and unique fixtures, but never did we come across a handcrafted, mediëval style pendant with a standing knight or guard in the middle of the trefoil symbol (for the trinity). With his hands on his sword and wearing a full body armour this knight looks very much alert and ready to protect you and your loved ones. Have you also noticed the larger sword designs that make the stylized torches on which the 'faux' candles are placed? Handcrafted with forged and cast iron elements, this partially bronzed light truly is a joy to own and look at. If you have a room or an entire house in the Gothic...
