Jentique Furniture Ltd was a furniture manufacturer established in the 1930s by the well-known toymaker Geoffrey Bowman Jenkins and his wife Edith, who based the company in Dereham, Norfolk. Jenkins lost his business to partner Bernard Smart (better known as the maker of Metamec clocks) in 1936.
Along with similar cabinetmakers (e.g. Meredew), the design of Jentique furniture followed the tastes of the times and the company did particularly well during the 1950s and 1960s, tapping into the hugely popular mid-century modern style inspired by Danish design.
Today, teak Jentique furniture from this period has become an affordable collectors' item prized for being attractive, well-made pieces.
From the 1964 Jentique leaflet: "Jentique Furniture has been noted for many years for its sound construction and excellent design. This leaflet illustrates the designs at present available. Examine the pieces in the shop and we are sure you will be impressed by the finish and first class materials used. As a medium sized company Jentiques production is restricted enough to ensure that your purchase is exclusive and we guarantee every item against defects as it is a matter of pride to us that each individual customer shall be permanently satisfied with his acquisition."
In 1964 Jentique offered sideboards, dining tables, dining chairs, bureaus, and bookcases in Teak, Tola, American Walnut, and combinations.
We are pleased to be offering this piece in fantastic condition, structurally solid with slick design led looks.
A total must for the collector or the mid century home, highly sought after so please don’t hesitate to buy.
