Jonathan Charles

Who is Jonathan Charles? 

Begun as a collaboration with Jon Sowter, an English-educated furniture craftsman, Jonathan Charles Fine Furniture is now one of the premier designers and manufacturers of classic reproduction and interpretation pieces. 

Jonathan Charles draws inspiration from period pieces and curiosities discovered during his adventures — classic wallpaper, heirloom jewelry, and other rarities. Some designs seek to reproduce the original down to the most intricate detail; others focus on amplifying one small embellishment by envisioning an entirely new piece. As designers and craftsmen, Jonathan Charles seeks to meld vision with reality: “We go far beyond just creating furniture that resembles English classics. We employ age-old techniques, which breathe soul and lasting quality into our products.”
