About us

Welcome to French Kings Antiques Inc. This is dedicated to a unique group of people: The 19th century french furniture and object d’arts collectors.

This period of French furniture making brought an unparalleled craftsmanship and design innovations often surpassing in quality pieces made in the 18th century, which they were supposed to emulate. Parisian furniture makers like Beurdeley, Dasson, Durand, Grohe, Krieger, Linke, Millet Sormani, Zwiener, and many others created true masterpieces.

This field was for a long time neglected by the specialists in French decorative arts, but lately interest in this area of collecting, thanks to the recent publication of Christopher Payne’s book “Francois Linke 1855-1946 The Belle Epoque of French Furniture”, has enjoyed great success.

Collecting 19th-century French furniture can bring not only many years of enjoyment of being surrounded by beautiful things in your daily life, but also represent solid investment opportunities. The prices realised in the most recent auctions show very strong demand for high-quality items.

We started our family business in 1974 and have acquired our knowledge and expertise in Paris, France. We moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1979, and since then, we have become experts in this field. All our items are authentic and of the highest quality and represent the period very well. We will be happy to promptly answer all inquiries.

All items are available for personal inspection. Feel free to make an appointment in the Los Angeles store. We know and hope that we can assist you in finding any piece you wish for.

This website showcases a portion of the items in our inventory. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any possible questions you should have.
