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

         Imre Steindl, Architect of the Parliament Building in Budapest, Hungary,
commenting on the Gothic Revival Style

 

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
