Classiques En Furniture – Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Classiques En Furniture for?
Classiques en Furniture isn’t for everyone
Our niche is for those who walk into all the other furniture showrooms and say ‘Yuk’! Why am I here? I don’t like plain, square, straight-line furniture! I don’t like chrome & glass! As Billy Connelly would say: “It’s so beige!”
Classiques en Furniture is for those who don’t want their homes to look like everyone else’s - like they all bought their fantastic furniture at exactly the same hypermart! It’s our customers who tell us we’re heading in the right direction. If we had a dollar for every time a shopper had said “I want to buy it all!” ... For many people in Melbourne, Classiques en Furniture is their all-time, favourite furniture gallery.

Can I find authentic antiques at Classiques en Furniture?
We specialize in vintage-style and antique reproduction furniture, not original antiques.
What is antique reproduction furniture?
Antique reproduction furniture refers to newly made pieces that replicate the design, craftsmanship, and aesthetic of historical styles - such as Chippendale, Victorian, or French Provincial. These pieces offer the charm of antiques with modern usability and structural integrity.
Why would I buy antique reproduction custom made furniture?
One of the biggest advantages of custom-made reproduction furniture is that you can match it to other pieces - beautifully, precisely, and intentionally. Unlike genuine antiques, which are often one-of-a-kind and limited by age, availability, and wear, our reproduction pieces can be tailored to suit your space, style, and existing décor.
Here’s how Classiques En Furniture makes matching easy:
Consistent Timber & Finish Options
Want your new cabinet to match the sideboard you bought last year? No problem. We offer a range of timber stains, painted finishes, and gilt accents that can be replicated across multiple pieces - something you simply can’t do with antiques.
Custom Dimensions
Need a bookcase that fits snugly between two windows, or a buffet that aligns perfectly with your dining table? Our custom-made options allow for precise sizing, so everything feels cohesive and intentional.
Repeatable Design Details
From carved motifs to hardware styles, we can echo specific design elements across multiple items—whether you’re furnishing a whole room or building a layered look over time.
Style Continuity Across Rooms
Antiques are often eclectic by nature. With reproduction furniture, you can maintain a consistent aesthetic - French Provincial in the dining room, Chippendale in the study, or Victorian elegance throughout.
Finish Matching for Existing Pieces
Already own a vintage piece you love? We can create complementary items that match its tone, scale, or style - without the guesswork or endless antique hunting.
Can I find vintage furniture at Classiques En Furniture?
Yes. While our core focus is reproduction-style furniture, we also stock genuine vintage pieces and ex-rental items with character and history. Availability varies, so feel free to ask or browse in-store.
What is ex-rental vintage and antique reproduction stock?
Ex-rental stock includes furniture previously used for Film & TV, styling, staging, or short-term hire. These pieces are often in excellent condition and available at reduced prices. It’s a great way to access high-quality items with a bit of lived-in charm.
Can I design my own custom piece?
Absolutely. Reach out with your vision and we’ll explore options together.
Where do you source your custom-made furniture?
Our pieces are sourced from kiln dried to international standards, solid mahogany plantation timber. We have been in partnership with our factories in Jakarta for 20 years. We prioritize quality, sustainability, and aesthetic integrity in every piece.
Is Classiques en Furniture timber environmentally sourced?
By purchasing this product you have helped plant trees in community forests. Your trees are renewing the environment by capturing Co2, cleaning local rivers and providing habitat for native animals.
Your purchase has reduced poverty among local farming families and raised their awareness of the importance of reforestation of their lands.
Where do you source Vintage Furniture inventory?
From tucked-away Melbourne workshops to trusted dealers and estate collections, we seek out pieces with soul - items that carry the patina of age but still offer structural integrity and design relevance. Our ex-rental vintage furniture is pre-loved - each piece has been carefully selected to the same high standards as the rest of our collection, using solid timbers, and timeless design details. These items have been used for styling, staging, or short-term hire, which means they’ve lived a little - but they still have plenty of life (and charm) to give.
Ex-rental pieces offer a unique opportunity to own beautifully made furniture with a touch of history and a more accessible price point. Whether you’re after a statement cabinet, a classic bookcase, or a one-off gem, our ex-rental range delivers enduring quality with a story to tell.
Celebrate the imperfections! Vintage furniture isn’t about perfection - it’s about personality. A gentle scratch, a faded brass handle, a timber tone that’s mellowed over time… these are the marks of a life well lived, and they’re what make each piece unique.
Orders & Policies
What is your return policy?
We accept returns on non-custom items within 7 days of purchase, provided they’re in original condition. Custom orders and clearance items are final sale.
Do your products come with a warranty?
Yes. All items are covered under statutory consumer guarantees. We also offer additional warranty coverage on select pieces - just ask us when purchasing.
Lighting & Treasures
Do you sell lighting fixtures?
Yes - lighting is one of our specialties. From statement chandeliers and vintage-style wall sconces to our ever-popular Tiffany lamps, we offer a curated range that complements our furniture collections beautifully. Whether you're after a soft glow for a reading nook or a show-stopping centrepiece for your dining room, our lighting pieces bring timeless character and warmth to any space.
Can I view items before purchasing?
Of course. We encourage in-person visits to experience the texture, scale, and craftsmanship of each piece. For lamps we will even let you take them home on a sale and return basis. For interstate customers, we’re happy to provide detailed photos and measurements.
