About Us

Dean Antiques Ltd was founded 40 years ago by Dean Gipson.

With his innate flair and discerning eye, Dean has cultivated a loyal clientele of interior decorators and private customers. His reputation is built on a consistently strong collection of 18th, 19th, and early 20th Century country house furniture and decorative antiques.

Dean Antiques specialises in pieces by Howard & Sons (established in 1820), a renowned British furniture maker celebrated for its high-quality, handcrafted upholstered furniture. However, we also stock furniture by esteemed brands like Gillows, Holland & Sons, William Birch, Pugin, and William Morris.

In addition, Dean Antiques is committed to supporting local craftsmanship. We work closely with skilled upholsterers, furniture restorers, and decorators to ensure each item meets the highest standards of quality and restoration. 

 

Dean Antiques is one of our "go-tos". They have fantastic stock – timeless, characterful pieces – that so often fits into a real English look. Plus they're just a pleasure to deal with!

A treasure trove I would selfishly rather not tell anyone else about. I have sourced the most beautiful of pieces from Dean over the years, he is always my first place to look when trying to find something special for clients.

The team have always been so amazing to work with! We look forward to continuing our partnership and are excited for future collaborations.
