The eclectic furnishings of Maitland-Smith celebrate artisan skills in an age of machines. Hand-carved woodwork, inlaid marquetry, painted detailing, gilding and lost wax casting lend the company’s decorative accents an artistic flair. Focused on pieces that add a dynamic flourish to an interior by incorporating tactile materials like leather, seashell inlays and crushed eggshell, the manufacturer draws inspiration across centuries, from the curvy forms of the Louis XV period to the geometric angles of mid-century modernism.
Paul Maitland-Smith established the company in Hong Kong in 1979, after getting his start in London in the 1950s as an antique dealer who also sold reproduction furniture, something that would become a Maitland-Smith specialty. The manufacturer’s early reproductions of 17th- and 18th-century furniture included Chippendale dining chairs, and soon afterward, Maitland-Smith expanded into a range of decorative designs that often exuded a whimsical spirit, whether a coffee table shaped like a stack of books or a pair of decorative obelisks. Maitland-Smith’s signature sculptural table lamps in particular show off this playful sensibility, with one balancing a pen-shell shade on a monkey’s tail and another taking on the form of a miniature hot-air balloon.
Since its founding, Maitland-Smith’s sourcing has been based in Asia, and although Paul Maitland-Smith later sold the company that still bears his name and is now headquartered in North Carolina, the brand’s furnishings are still largely made in Cebu, Philippines.
Today, Maitland-Smith continues to innovate on its finely crafted offerings by collaborating with contemporary designers and studios such as Tony Duquette Studios (founded by set and costume designer Tony Duquette in 1941), Celerie Kemble and painter and textile designer Susan Hable Smith.

A French Neoclassical carved-wood console with marble top, from the 19th century. This antique table from France has an oblong demi-shaped (half-round) marble top with flattened backside, and a pair of shallow rectangular projections at either front corner to emphasize the legs below. It rests upon an elaborately carved wood frame with apron adorn in fluted and lambs tongue trimmings. A gorgeous pierce-carved floral garland is swagged about the front and gathers into a loop at front/center with bow-tied carvings. The two legs have robust volute carvings at underside of the top, are carved in similar fashion to the trim on the apron, and curve inwardly towards the underside of the table and terminate into nicely carved round feet. The legs are braced at their box and rose carved ankles with an oval-shaped platform base, carved with acanthus leaf accents and supporting a large three dimensionally-carved two-handle urn with acorn finial top. The marble is quite unusual and rare in color which is primarily green and blush pink. Note that this table is designed to be wall-mounted for safety and security. This Neoclassical French console...
