Antique Elm Furniture UK | Farmhouse Tables & Chairs

Grainy, expressive and unapologetically irregular, antique elm furniture stands apart from the more polished hardwoods of its time. Prized not for polish or symmetry, but for its raw, expressive character and unmistakable presence. Unlike oak or mahogany, elm resists uniformity. Its swirling, interlocked grain patterns, varying tones and unpredictable figure give each piece a strong visual identity, making it a favourite for collectors and designers seeking warmth, tactility, and quiet, subdued drama.

We regularly stock an ever-changing selection of antique elm furniture that reflects the full range of its historical use, from 18th and 19th century country chairs and Georgian farmhouse tables, to charming stools and benches. This is furniture that feels grounded and natural. Elm brings a kind of understated complexity to a room, just irregular enough to feel human and just refined enough to stand confidently among other fine antiques.
