About Us

Hawkins Furniture is based in West Wiltshire with a client base of prestigious interior decorators and architects as well as private clients, irrespective of their location.

The business was founded in 1987 as a restoration workshop to some of the major names in antique English furniture. Following a move out of London and a reputation for high quality work the business developed as enquiries to produce bespoke furniture increased, with clients valuing the quality quality of work, expertise in finishing and timely delivery. Since then the workshop has worked on local and international projects supplying new furniture, restoration and upholstery to clients for locations including the UK Supreme Court and the Justice's Dining Room.

Philip Hawkins trained at The London College of Furniture between 1979 and 1983. His early career involved restoring furniture for Michael Marriott in the Fulham Road and John Chambers in Maida Vale who handled pieces for dealers Alistair Sampson, Toby Jellineck, Tristram Jellinek and Christopher Bangs. Furniture carefully and sensitively restored by Philip has been exhibited at the Grosvenor House Antiques Fair in London and at the New York Antiques Far. Collectors around the world continue to seek Philip's exceptional skill.

Hawkins Furniture is a modest workshop yet one that can demonstrate long client relationships. We produce timeless pieces, whether contemporary or traditional in style, which also stand the test of time.
