Gothic Revival Furniture

Gothic Revival Style

The Gothic Revival movement (also called Victorian Gothic or Neo-Gothic) emerged in Britain in the 1740s, and reached its height in the late-19th century. Gothic Revival furniture's characteristics include such decorative flourishes as pointed arches, floral details, finials, heraldic motifs and linenfold carving.

The movement was rooted in religious and social conservatism. Gothic Revival's proponents, who included Charles Barry and A.W.N. Pugin, the architects of London’s Houses of Parliament (designed in 1840), believed that the art and architecture of the Middle Ages were authentically spiritual and inherently moral.

In the United States, the Gothic Revival movement shaped both public buildings and private houses. Numerous American schools were built in the early-19th century in a style now called Collegiate Gothic. Many builders and craftsmen were inspired by Andrew Jackson Downing’s widely read 1850 book Architecture for Country Houses, which posited that a family’s home should exemplify their values — and that the Gothic Revival style was particularly well-suited to scholars and clergymen. Furniture with detailing that mirrored that of Gothic Revival buildings appeared in the same period. Such pieces typically feature dark, intricately carved wood, and upholstery in velvet or leather.

Much like the castles or cathedrals that inspired them, Gothic Revival chairs, bookcases and beds make a bold design statement. And while you probably don’t have to cross a moat or raise a portcullis to get through your front door, a Gothic Revival piece will declare that your home is indeed your castle.

Antique Hand Carved Oak & Wrought Iron Gothic Church Cabinet / Two Tier Credenza
Located in Lisse, NL
Marvelous and practical Gothic Revival cabinet from the early 1800s. This rare, Dutch workmanship, Gothic Revival cabinet from the early 19th century for several reasons is another one of our recent great finds. First of all, this ecclesiastical antique is made exactly like it would have been in early Medieval times. Only solid oak was used and to make this cabinet strong and stable for centuries to come, the artisan(s) only used the ancient method of wooden pin-hole connections (as shown in many of our images). Besides that you should also be able to see how hand-forged, wrought iron nails (with a big head) were used to tighten certain connections whilst at the same time decorating the sides and the top of this cabinet. The perfectly hand carved panels in the shape of Gothic cathedral windows and folded bible pages...
