Antique Furniture for Interior Designers
Acanthus Home provides restored antique furniture for interior designers working across residential, hospitality, and commercial interiors. Each object is selected for its structure, proportion, and material integrity, then prepared for continued use within contemporary spaces. These are not decorative additions placed at the edge of a room. They establish weight, contrast, and continuity within an interior.

Selection
Pieces are sourced with attention to construction before surface. Joinery is examined for stability, materials for density and wear, and proportion in relation to the contemporary interiors where these objects will be placed. Only pieces that can remain in use, in a private residence or a high-traffic environment, enter the collection.

Restoration
Intervention is considered, not formulaic. Joinery and structure are stabilized first. Finishes are preserved, refined, or reworked depending on the condition of the piece and the direction of its placement. Upholstered pieces are reconstructed with frame and textile treated as a single structure; evidence of use is retained where it contributes to the legibility of the form.

Placement
Antique furniture enters a space with proportion already resolved, lower in scale, denser in material, more deliberate in construction than contemporary production. A single object can anchor a room without reliance on repetition. Carved wood and aged finishes set against stone, plaster, glass, and steel produce contrast rather than uniformity: not a period interior, but a layered one in which older and newer elements remain distinct.
Pieces Available for Placement
Seating, tables, case pieces, desks, and vanities, specified across residential, hospitality, and commercial projects.
