Holland

Since 1895, and continuing through four generations, the Holland family has imported 18th and 19th Century antique furniture from England and Europe. From this background, HL Holland Designs produces bench-made, traditional period reproduction and contemporary furniture in England and Europe. Our pieces can be seen today in the finest homes, offices and hospitality settings. In 1971, Leslie Holland continued the tradition of his father and grandfather by opening a showroom in Atlanta's Decorative Arts Center, offering fine English and European antiques and reproductions to the Interior Design Community.

The breadth of our range can be seen in the history of furniture making itself. We derive our inspiration from various European artistic periods, starting with the Italian Renaissance, where it all began for Europe, then Georgian times which saw the inventiveness of Chippendale and Sheraton, and on through the Regency period. Our English workshops are the foundation of our business. Our skilled cabinetmakers, whose experience has given them a deep respect for antique furniture and the knowledge of furniture making, are dedicated to completing each piece to the last detail.

Three hundred years ago, craftspeople in England specialized in different aspects of furniture making: the Cabinetmaker would construct the majority of the piece; the French Polisher would apply the finish that gave the piece its color and depth; the Leatherer would lay the leather hides and emboss the gold tooling and the Carver would carve the cabriole leg. Today, HL Holland Designs continues this tradition of specialized craftsmanship. Our workshops each specialize in different aspects of furniture making: We have Carvers, Polishers, and Carpenters, each using their unique talents, working together to produce the final piece that we bring to you.
