What Sets Olympus Apart?
Master Joinery - Built using traditional timber and solid framing, Olympus furniture was made to withstand generations of daily use.
Signature Finishes - Many original pieces featured soft off-white, cream, or gold-accented factory lacquer finishes, often paired with elegant glass top protectors and ornate handles.
Fluid Sillouettes - Distinctive serpentine fronts, gracefully curved cabriole legs, and detailed decorative moutlings defined their iconic ranges.
Why Olympus Furniture is the Perfect Canvas for Refinishing
While many original Olympus pieces were finished in pale creams or golds, their underlying quality makes them a dream to refinish today. The solid construction, dovetailed drawers, and dramatic carved details allow these pieces to take on a completely new life when hand-painted.
Dramatic Transformation - Dark, moody paint colours - like deep navy, forest green, or matte black - highlight the. carved Rococo details in the way the original pale finishes never could.
Versatility in Modern Spaces - A custom-painted Olympus piece bridges the gap between classic vintage charm and modern interior design, acting as a stunning hero piece in any bedroom or hallway.
Build to Last - Because Olympus pieces were built by skilled British cabinetmakers rather than mass-produced flat-pack factories, they refinish beautifully and will last for decades to come.
