Jonathan Charles Usa

As makers, we celebrate a legacy of meticulous workmanship. As creatives, we explore and envision new possibilities. Producing lifestyle collections and individual objects that elevate heritage craftsmanship with modern sensibility is what Jonathan Charles embodies. Simply stated, it is the “evolution of artistry”. Our story begins with a passionate commitment to create and offer the finest antique reproduction furniture and accents to the global marketplace. Our founder, Jonathan Sowter, assembled a team of talented makers and craftsmen; built our own factories and foundries so that every piece of hardware, from the custom-designed pulls and handles down to the screws and hinges, could be produced to our exacting standards; and drew on some of the most creative design talent from around the world. We proudly embody that legacy and passionate drive in the furniture collections and lifestyles that Jonathan Charles creates today for discerning clients around the globe. Artistry, by its very nature, is a gift brought forth from the artist’s hand, eye and soul. At Jonathan Charles, we celebrate the individual artists who create functional works of lasting value using techniques like eglomise’, hand carving, eggshell inlay, hand painting, marquetry, brass etching, and lost wax casting. The evolution of artistry allows us to incorporate these time-honored crafts into both traditional and more modern forms. Throughout our lifestyle collections, you will find references to the Mid-Century movement, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Hollywood glamour, and Asian-influenced forms as well as Classic Transitional, Modern and Traditional styling. Superior craftsmanship is not limited to one style; it is the unending thread that connects all our works back to our core philosophy.
