Holly Johnson Antiques are opening a large showroom in central Knutsford. They are members of Bada and Lapada and have been established for 28 years. Specialising in Modern Design, Arts and Crafts furniture and Modern British Art.
They will also run their Interior Design Consultancy from the Knutsford shop.
Holly Johnson trained at Christies and went onto develop her career at Bonhams (then Phillips) and following this Holly worked with David Dickinson showing 19th Century Exhibition Furniture at the major London Fairs.
Holly’s love of Antiques and Interiors led her to set up my own business in 1996, and Holly’s husband Ben joined her in the business in 2010. Over the year’s exhibitions have taken place at the Major London Fairs as well as the International Shows including Palm Beach, San Francisco and Chicago, including 2 years running a retail outlet at the New York Design Centre.
The Website was developed about 10 years ago allowing Holly and Ben to cultivate a large online following especially with the American Interior Designer Fraternity.
Since then, they have immensely enjoyed the journey that the business has taken them on, and as members of LAPADA and BADA, and are very proud to be very actively involved in supporting the wider industry.
Holly Johnson Antiques is one the largest dealers of vintage Piero Fornasetti, the much-acclaimed Milanese artist and designer, and in fact, have lent a number of his early works to the Louvre and other International museums and art galleries.
Another specialism is English Arts and Crafts, and Holly and Ben regularly work to supply our clients with pieces by Edward Barnsley, Gordon Russell, William Morris, Peter Waals and Earnest Gimson.
Modern British Art is a major specialism, selling naturalist artworks by Charles Frederick Tunnicliffe which are particularly sought after. Northern Art is another genre and works by artists such as Harold Riley, Liam Spencer, Arthur Delany and Peter Brook.
Holly and Ben also design their own exclusively designed Art Glass with the leading Glass Masters from Murano, Venice.
Holly Johnson Antiques have a great passion for beautiful, well-made things, and searching them out for clients. The people and the great characters they meet on the way is another thing they love.
Holly says, “We are excited to develop the showroom, and its eight studios further, so we can utilise the space to best effect. We will be holding exhibitions and informative talks at the showroom on a regular basis.
Moreover, we are looking forward to further extending our interior design service. We will be highlighting all the newest collections straight from the leading luxury fabric and wallpaper Houses. “
