Julian & Jo Monkley

Monkleys Furniture, nestled in the picturesque countryside of Herefordshire, is a family-run business that has been passionately crafting bespoke furniture and restoring antique pieces for two decades. Founders Julian and Jo Monkley pour their hearts and souls into every project, using time-honoured techniques and a keen eye for detail to create furniture that is both beautiful and enduring.

Julian, with over 30 years of experience in the world of furniture, brings a wealth of knowledge to the workshop. His journey began with an apprenticeship under the esteemed cabinet maker Gordon Russell Ltd. Returning to Herefordshire, he found his true calling in furniture restoration, honing his skills alongside the experts at a local antique furniture company. His expertise led him to the role of furniture conservator at Hereford City Museum, where he had the privilege of working on some of Herefordshire's most treasured antique pieces. Now, at the heart of their Felton workshop, Julian and Jo continue to weave the magic of their shared passion into every piece they create.
