Welcome to British Modern - the home of the finest British furniture produced between 1945-75. We are the only UK dealer specialising in British furniture of the period and pride ourselves on sourcing and restoring an eclectic mix of the best of British furniture by prominent British manufacturers and designers alongside others that are less well known. As the owner of a substantial archive, including hundreds of original catalogues, advertisements and period publications we are also passionate advocates of British design and always attribute pieces based on our considerable expertise. The vast majority of our furniture is professionally restored and upholstered to as near to original as possible replicating its original finish and detailing thereby retaining the spirit of the original design.   We work alongside a cabinet-maker, furniture restorer, metal-worker and upholsterer who each have a minimum of 25 years of expertise and share our passion and attention to detail. Many of our furniture pieces are newly lacquer finished (replicating the original cellulose based finish used by many British manufacturers of the period) and as such are heat, stain, uv resistant and maintenance free. We DON’T French polish mid-century furniture or ‘restore’ by applying an oil / wax based finish on top of the original as an alarming number of ‘mid-century’ dealers deem as adequate - we are amongst very few dealers and restorers who do the right thing, not the easiest or cheapest. We have been collecting mid-century British furniture and collectables for 2 decades and have been professionally buying and selling since 2012. We are based at a small studio in Derby, DE1 1LR where pieces can be viewed by appointment.
