  • A Rich Pedigree

    A Rich Pedigree

     

    Rolleston was founded by Marion Priestly Rolleston in 1955, originally trading under the name The Antique Home and specializing in 18th-century English furniture. The firm quickly gained a reputation for its dedication and hard work, acquiring pieces based solely on authenticity, fine condition, exceptional design, and rich color and patina.

     

    With this ethos at its core, the company flourished. By the mid-1970s, Rolleston had become well known within the art and antiques world—not only for the quality of its English furniture and works of art but also for its trustworthiness and integrity. By the early 1980s, the company was exhibiting at the prestigious Grosvenor House Art & Antiques Fair, where it played an integral role in the strict English antique furniture vetting committee. This period marked the expansion of Rolleston’s international clientele.

     

    Today, Rolleston is a third-generation dealer of English furniture, Chinese and Chinese Export works of art. While the core values that built the business remain paramount, the company continues to enhance its reputation and cultivate relationships with both international and domestic clients.

     

    We take great pride in our rich heritage and look forward to sharing our passion and appreciation for these exceptional pieces with collectors and institutions worldwide.
