M.
Markley Antiques is the only U.S.-based dealer in French antique furniture
concentrating on the
Gothic
Revival and Renaissance Revival
styles. This has allowed us to offer
the widest array of pieces to buyers
who prize these styles and to procure the most interesting and unique
items as they become available in Europe.
Because enthusiasm in the U.S. for Gothic Revival has outpaced the
publication of scholarly materials, we have dedicated our website to expanding
and enhancing the resources available in English on the 19th century revival in
France of Gothic and Renaissance
design. Click Stylistic Origins for
a more complete discussion of this collection.
Our objective
is to convey the affection and admiration we feel for these anonymous geniuses who
studied and interpreted the magnificent furniture of an earlier time and whose
products, once brand new, have become treasured antiques in their own right. Making this
furniture available to collectors in the U.S. has
been a labor of love and offering it on the Internet
has brought us into contact with collectors from all
over the world. And so we invite you to visit and enjoy the Château
des Bois CollectionTM and immerse yourself in creating your own Romantic
Interior.
Cordialement,
Michael
& Meril Markley

By its perfect beauty
and its elegant lines, this remarkable
medieval style creates a bridge between
the material and spiritual world...
