Robert Keyes founded a cabinet-making and antique furniture restoration business in London's East End in the late 1930s and then went to war for 6 years. After de-mobbing he continued where he'd left off and set-up his first workshop in Bateman's Row - a rundown, tiny street full of small workspaces and factories in what is now one of London's most expensive and sought after areas in Shoreditch.

After Robert Keyes' retirement, Matthew Crawford, his grandson, took over the business after apprenticing with him in the early 1980s and relocated the workshop to Islington, north London.

All of the antique, vintage and mid-century furniture runs through our on-site workshop to ensure it's in beautiful condition before it makes it out onto the floor for sale.

Mid Century Furniture

Report

We've been sourcing, buying, restoring and selling mid century furniture for decades. We live, love and breathe it. Every piece we purchase, whether it be a mid century classic such as the Playboy chair by Jens Risom or an unattributable, but stylish desk, have all been run through our workshop and nursed back to health by our craftswomen and men who've spent years honing their skills. It means that you can buy with confidence, knowing that the furniture you buy from us looks just as it should to look wonderful in your home.

Vintage Furniture

Report

In this corner of our website, you'll find items of vintage furniture that date from centuries ago, all the way forward to the 1970s. We know lots of stuff about lots of things when it comes to furniture, and here at After Noah we'll tell you all we know about it. Rest assured that it's been lovingly restored, cleaned, revived and generally taken care of before it arrives on the shop floor to tempt you.

Industrial Furniture

Report

We've been salvaging, restoring, converting and selling reclaimed furniture and other useful household items which we've rescued from old factories, workshops, schools and hospitals for almost 30 years. Complementing this range, there are now a handful of manufacturers around who are making retro versions with a similar feel.
