Solid Wood Classic Furniture: Catalog, Styles, Prices 2026

There are items that never age. Classic furniture is one of them. While minimalism conquers studio apartments, while loft dictates the fashion for bare concrete, classic style silently reigns in the homes of those who understand: fashion passes, style remains.Classic Furnituremade of solid oak or beech is not an antique behind museum glass; it is a living environment where a carved armchair is comfortable for the body, where a chest of drawers holds half a wardrobe, where a walnut writing desk inspires great achievements. Classic style requires no justification—it simply exists, solid, eternal, self-sufficient.

classic furnitureClassic Furniture, you are not just furnishing a home—you are creating an environment that will last for decades, that can be passed down to children, that will retain its value and aesthetics when the next trend fades into oblivion. Solid wood, hand carving, patination, gilding—techniques honed over centuries work flawlessly.

Features of Classic Furniture: The Philosophy of Timeless Forms

What makes furniture classic? Not age, not price, not brand. Classic style is a system of proportions, a canon of forms, a language of decoration developed by European culture since the Renaissance. Classic furniture adheres to architectural orders: symmetry of axes, the golden ratio in proportions, a tripartite structure (base-body-crown), rhythmic repetition of elements.

classic furnitureClassical furniture made of woodis rational. Deep chest of drawers drawers, spacious wardrobes, stable tables on massive legs—every item is thought out to the millimeter. But rationalism does not exclude beauty: carved fronts, inlay, gilded overlays transform a utilitarian object into a work of art.

Materials are exclusively natural. Solid oak, beech, walnut, ash—wood that breathes, ages nobly, and can be restored. No laminated chipboard, no plastic imitating wood. Upholstery for soft furniture—natural leather, velvet, tapestry, jacquard. Hardware—bronze, brass, wrought iron. All of this serves for decades, not years.

Aesthetically, classic style gravitates towards symmetry and balance. A chest of drawers with five drawers has a wider central one—a visual axis of symmetry. The back of an armchair is symmetrical about the vertical. Carved decoration is mirrored on the right and left. This predictability, orderliness, calms, creating a sense of stability and controllability of the environment.

Psychologically, a classic setting has a powerful impact: you enter a room with an oak table, leather armchairs, a bookcase with carved pilasters—and the subconscious reads the signal 'here lives a person with taste, status, respect for traditions.' This is not boasting—it is self-identification through the environment.

Baroque: Theatrical Opulence of the 17th Century

Baroque was born in early 17th-century Italy as a style of the Catholic Counter-Reformation—the Church wanted to overwhelm the viewer, to bring them back into the fold of faith through sensory shock. From church architecture, Baroque flowed into palace interiors, and from there—into furniture.

Characteristic features of Baroque furniture: massiveness (large volumes, thick legs, wide seats), curvilinearity (curved cabriole legs, wavy fronts, convex bombé chests), abundance of carved decoration (acanthus leaves, shells, cartouches, putti angels, masks), gilding (carving is covered with gold leaf or gold paint), polishing to a mirror shine.

Baroque materials: oak, walnut, exotic woods (rosewood, ebony). Upholstery: velvet, brocade, embossed leather. Color palette: dark, deep tones (burgundy, emerald, sapphire) with gold accents.

Typical Baroque furniture: console with curved legs and marble top, armchair with a high carved back and gilded armrests, bombé chest with convex fronts and bronze overlays, canopy bed with carved columns.

Baroque is suitable for spacious rooms with high ceilings. In a small room, Baroque furniture will overwhelm; in a spacious living room or bedroom—it will create an atmosphere of palace luxury.

Rococo: The Frivolous Elegance of the 18th Century

Rococo is a French style from the first half of the 18th century, flourishing under Louis XV. If Baroque is solemn and monumental, Rococo is playful and intimate. It is the style of boudoirs, salons, and private chambers, not grand halls.

Characteristic features of Rococo: lightness of construction (thin legs, elegant proportions), asymmetry (unlike Baroque, Rococo allows for asymmetrical scrolls, rocaille), curved lines (no right angles—everything is smooth, flowing), pastel colors (pink, blue, mint, ivory, light gilding, not massive), ornaments (shell-like rocaille, scrolls, floral garlands, putti, exotic motifs—chinoiserie).

Materials: light woods (beech, linden), often painted and patinated. Upholstery: silk, satin with floral patterns, tapestry. Gilding is thin, lacy.

Typical Rococo furniture: a bergère armchair with soft upholstery and curved legs, a secretary desk with numerous secret drawers and inlay, a chaise longue with a wavy back, and a dressing table with a mirror in a carved frame.

Rococo is ideal for women's boudoirs, bedrooms, small living rooms. It creates an atmosphere of intimacy, coziness, and lightness.

Empire: Imperial Might of the Early 19th Century

Empire is Napoleon's style, created to glorify the French Empire. It references ancient Rome, imperial grandeur. Empire is strict, symmetrical, monumental.

Characteristic features of Empire: straight lines (no Rococo curves), clear geometry (rectangles, squares, circles), columns and pilasters (furniture imitates architectural elements), antique motifs (laurel wreaths, eagles, lion heads and paws, swords, torches, fasces), absolute symmetry, massive gilding (bronze overlays), dark polished wood.

Materials: mahogany, ebony, walnut. Polished to a mirror shine. Upholstery: silk, velvet in rich colors (red, green, blue), often with gold embroidery.

Typical Empire furniture: an armchair with a straight back and armrests in the form of sphinxes or griffins, a writing desk with columns on the sides and bronze overlays, a boat-shaped bed with curved headboard and footboard, a chest of drawers with a clear rectangular shape and marble top.

Empire is suitable for studies, libraries, formal living rooms. It creates an atmosphere of power, strength, confidence.

Neoclassicism: Restrained Elegance of the Late 18th - 21st Century

Neoclassicism emerged as a reaction to Baroque excesses, turning to antique simplicity and harmony. Unlike Empire (which is also Neoclassical but in an imperial guise), Neoclassicism is more intimate, restrained.

Characteristic features of Neoclassicism: symmetry and proportions (golden ratio, order system), restrained decor (carving is present but not overloaded, often geometric—meanders, beads, fluting), straight or slightly tapered legs, antique motifs (but not militant, as in Empire, but decorative—garlands, urns, medallions), light or natural wood tones.

Materials: oak, beech, ash, walnut. Often tinted in light or medium tones. Upholstery: linen, cotton, leather in calm colors. Hardware is brass or bronze, but unobtrusive.

Typical Neoclassical furniture: a chair with a straight back and fluted legs, a round dining table on a central pedestal, a bookcase with glazed doors and pilasters, a console on turned legs.

Neoclassicism is universal: suitable for any room, fits organically into modern interiors, does not overwhelm the space.Classic furniture catalogis most often represented by Neoclassical models—they are the most in demand in 2026.

Materials of classic furniture: solid wood vs. imitation

Solid wood: the foundation of classicism

Real classic furniture is made from solid wood. Solid boards or glued panels (several boards glued into a wide panel, but each board is solid wood). Solid wood is strong, durable, restorable, breathes (regulates room humidity), ages nobly (the patina of time adorns it).

Oak is the king of furniture making. High hardness (3.7-3.9 on the Brinell scale), density 700 kg/m³, expressive texture with large pores. Color ranges from light honey to dark brown. Oak is ideal for carving—hard wood holds fine details. Oak furniture lasts for centuries. Disadvantages: high price, significant weight.

Beech—hardness comparable to oak (3.8), but texture is fine-pored, uniform, color is light with a pinkish tint. Beech turns, cuts, and bends excellently (for curved elements). 20-30% cheaper than oak. Disadvantage: hygroscopic (fears humidity).

Walnut—an elite wood. Color ranges from light brown to chocolate with purple hues. Texture is expressive, processes excellently, polishes to a mirror shine. Walnut furniture is a sign of status. Price is higher than oak.

Ash—maximum strength (4.0-4.1), texture is contrasting striped, color is light. Ash is ideal for load-bearing elements (legs, frames). More expensive than oak.

MDF with carved decor: a budget alternative

To reduce the cost of classic furniture, MDF (medium-density fiberboard) with app

lied carved decor made of solid wood or polyurethane is used. The frame, facades—MDF, covered with veneer or paint. Carved overlays (pilasters, cornices, rosettes)—solid wood or polyurethane—are glued on top.

Advantages: price is 2-3 times lower than solid wood furniture, geometric stability (MDF does not warp from humidity), possibility of complex shapes. Disadvantages: lower durability (20-30 years vs. 50-100 for solid wood), impossibility of deep restoration, lower eco-friendliness (MDF contains synthetic resins), lack of the tactile warmth of solid wood.

MDF with decor is a sensible choice for budget projects, rental housing, and temporary solutions. Solid wood is for those building a home for centuries, who value naturalness and are ready to invest in quality.

Classical living room furniture: the heart of the home

The living room is the face of the home. It's where guests are received, family evenings are spent, and holidays are celebrated. A classical living room setting creates an atmosphere of respectability, coziness, and culture.

Sofas and armchairs: the seating group

A classical sofa features a high back (for spinal support and aesthetics), armrests (often carved or with overlays), visible legs (not hidden under a skirt like modern sofas), and natural upholstery (leather, velvet, jacquard).

Sofa shapes: straight three-seater (the foundation of the seating group), corner (for large living rooms), chaise longue (for relaxation areas), canapé (a small two-seater with elegant proportions).

Armchairs complement the sofa. A classical armchair has a solid wood frame (with visible carved elements), a soft seat and back, and armrests. Types: bergère (low with soft armrests), Voltaire (high with wings at the head to protect from drafts), throne (monumental with a high carved back).

Arrangement: sofa against a wall or in the center (with its back to a window or passageway), armchairs to the sides or opposite, forming a conversation area. A coffee table is placed between the sofa and armchairs.

Tables: coffee and console tables

A coffee table is low (40-50 cm high), placed in front of the sofa. Coffee is served on it, magazines and remotes are placed. A classical coffee table has a solid wood top (or solid wood with inlay, marble), carved legs, and often a lower shelf for storage.

Shapes: rectangular (universal), oval (soft, safe for children), round (compact), square (for square areas).

A console table is a narrow table against a wall. Lamps, vases, and photo frames are placed on it. The console may have drawers for small items. A classical console stands on four legs (curved or straight), with a carved frieze under the top, often with a marble or wooden top.

Cabinets and display cases: storage and display

A classical display cabinet is a glass-fronted cabinet for displaying collections (porcelain, crystal, books). The glazing protects from dust, and internal lighting highlights the exhibits. The frame is solid wood with carving, doors have beveled glass or lattice muntins.

A bookcase is tall (up to the ceiling), with shelves behind glass doors. A classical bookcase has pilasters (vertical decorative elements imitating columns), a cornice, and a plinth. Dark wood, restrained carving.

A chest of drawers is a low, wide cabinet with drawers. Used for storing linen, textiles, and small items. A classical chest of drawers stands on legs (not on a plinth), with carved fronts, bronze handles, and a marble top (optional).

Classical bedroom: royal rest

The bedroom is a sanctuary, a place of solitude, peace, and restoration. A classical bedroom setting promotes deep sleep and creates a feeling of security and comfort.

Bed: The Centerpiece

A classical bed features a massive headboard (high, carved, upholstered in fabric or leather), a visible solid wood frame, and legs. Sizes: single 90×200 cm (rare in classic style), double 120×200 cm, queen 160×200 cm or 180×200 cm (standard for classical bedrooms), king 200×200 cm.

Headboard styles: high rectangular with carved decor (Baroque, Empire), curved with button-tufted upholstery (Neoclassical), with columns or pilasters on the sides (Empire), with a canopy (Romantic classic).

Material: solid oak, beech, or walnut for the frame and headboard. Headboard upholstery: velvet, velour, leather, jacquard. Base: orthopedic slatted or solid wood. Mattress: independent springs or latex.

Nightstands and chests of drawers

A nightstand is a small cabinet (height 50-60 cm, width 40-60 cm) with a drawer and/or door. A lamp is placed on it, and books, phone, and glasses are kept. A classical nightstand is made of the same wood and in the same style as the bed. Legs, carved fronts, marble top (optional).

Quantity: two (on both sides of the bed) or one (if the bed is against a wall).

A chest of drawers in the bedroom is for storing linen and clothes. A classical chest of drawers is wide (100-150 cm), with 4-6 drawers, carved fronts, and bronze handles. The top is often used as a dressing table—a mirror and cosmetics are placed on it.

Cabinets and Wardrobes

A wardrobe is tall (200-240 cm) and wide (120-200 cm) with hinged doors. Inside: a hanging rail and shelves. A classical wardrobe is made of solid wood, with carved fronts, possibly with mirrors on the doors.

A wardrobe system is for spacious bedrooms and separate dressing rooms. Open shelving, hanging rails, and drawers made of solid wood. A classical wardrobe system has decorative elements: cornices, pilasters, carved ends.

Dining group: table and chairs for dining

The dining area is the family gathering place. A classical dining table and chairs create an atmosphere of festivity even for a weekday dinner.

Dining tables

A classic dining table — made of solid wood, on four legs (carved or turned) or on a central support (for round tables). The tabletop is thick (30-50 mm), often with a shaped edge.

Shapes: rectangular (versatile, seats many people, convenient against a wall or in the center), oval (a softened version of rectangular, no sharp corners), round (compact, democratic — everyone is equal, but seats fewer), square (for small kitchens).

Dimensions: for 4 people — 120×80 cm or diameter 100 cm, for 6 — 160×90 cm or diameter 120 cm, for 8 — 200×100 cm or diameter 140 cm, for 10-12 — 240-300×100 cm.

Extension mechanism: many classic tables are extendable — the central part of the tabletop slides apart, and an additional leaf is inserted. This increases the length by 40-60 cm, allowing for hosting guests.

Chairs and Sofas

A classic dining chair — with a hard or upholstered back, a soft seat, and a visible solid wood frame. The front legs are often carved or turned; the back legs can be straight (continuations of the back posts).

Backrest: straight vertical (Empire), slightly reclined (Neoclassical), curved (Baroque, Rococo), open (with decorative slats or carving), solid (with upholstery).

Seat: hard wooden (rare, uncomfortable for long meals), soft with springs and foam, covered with fabric or leather. The upholstery is often removable (with a zipper or Velcro) for washing.

Armrests: chairs are usually without armrests (more compact), armchairs — with armrests (for the hosts at the head of the table).

Quantity: a minimum equal to the number of permanent residents + 2-4 for guests.

Study furniture: work and concentration

A classic study — a place for work, reading, contemplation. The furnishings should promote concentration, not be distracting, but also not be boring.

Writing desks

A classic writing desk — massive, on four legs or on pedestals. The tabletop is large (140-180 cm long, 70-90 cm deep), covered in leather (more convenient for writing than on wood) or wooden.

Types: a table on four legs with a drawer under the tabletop (simplest), a table on two pedestals (pedestals with drawers on the sides, the tabletop rests on them — maximum storage), a partner's desk (double-sided, two people sit opposite each other — for negotiations), a bureau (a desk with a drop-down writing surface and many small drawers inside — a compact solution).

Material: oak, walnut (dark, solid woods). Finishing: carving on legs and friezes, bronze fittings, leather inlay on the tabletop (green, brown, burgundy).

Bookcases and libraries

A classic bookcase — tall (up to 2.5 meters), with glazed doors (protection from dust), and adjustable-height shelves. The frame is made of solid wood with carving: pilasters (vertical elements imitating columns), cornice (top protruding element), plinth (bottom support).

Glazing: beveled glass (with processed, chamfered edges, refracts light), lattice muntins (wooden frames divide the glass into sections — a classic technique), frosted or tinted glass (hides clutter on shelves).

Library (built-in shelving system) — for large book collections. Occupies an entire wall or several walls. A classic library has a ladder on a rail for access to upper shelves, decorative elements (cornices, pilasters, carved panels).

Reading chairs

A study armchair — deep, with a high back (for head support while reading), soft armrests. Upholstery: leather (practical, solid) or dense fabric. Color: dark (brown, burgundy, dark green, black).

Types: Voltaire chair (high with wings on the sides of the head — protection from drafts, cozy), armchair with an ottoman (footrest — maximum comfort), executive chair (swiveling, with height adjustment, but in a classic style — leather, carved wood).

Carved decor and moldings: the language of classicism

Carving is the hallmark of classic furniture. Carving transforms a utilitarian object into a work of art, adding depth, texture, and play of light and shadow.

Types of Carving

Flat carving — the ornament is recessed to a shallow depth (3-5 mm), the background remains flat. Used for friezes (horizontal decorative bands), drawer fronts, door panels. Motifs: geometric (meanders, interlaces), floral (leaves, flowers).

Relief carving — the ornament protrudes above the background by 10-30 mm, creating a three-dimensional composition. Used for appliqués, capitals (tops of columns and pilasters), central medallions. Motifs: acanthus leaves, grape clusters, shells, masks, cartouches.

Openwork (pierced) carving — the background is completely removed, the ornament is see-through. Used for chair backs, cabinet grilles, decorative panels. Creates lightness, airiness.

Three-dimensional (sculptural) carving — three-dimensional forms. Furniture legs in the shape of animal paws, lion or griffin heads on armchair armrests, putti-angels on cornices.

Typical motifs

Acanthus leaves — stylized leaves of a Mediterranean plant with deep cuts. A symbol of abundance, vitality. Used everywhere — from legs to cornices.

Shells (rocaille) – stylized sea shells with scrolls. The main motif of Rococo, but also used in other styles. Symbol of luxury, exoticism.

Rosettes – round or oval floral ornaments. Symmetrical, often in the center of a drawer or door front. Symbol of perfection, completeness.

Cartouches – decorative frames for inscriptions or coats of arms, framed by scrolls. Used on fronts, backs.

Laurel wreaths – symbol of victory, glory. Used in Empire style. Eagles, lions – symbols of power, strength.

Polyurethane moldings

Modern alternative to carving – polyurethane overlays imitating carved wood. Advantages: low price (5-10 times cheaper than hand carving), lightness (polyurethane does not weigh down furniture), variety of shapes (casting allows creating any details), moisture resistance.

Disadvantages: artificiality (up close it's visible that it's plastic, not wood), lower durability, impossibility of restoration (a chip in wood carving can be restored, a polyurethane part can only be replaced).

Polyurethane molding is a reasonable choice for budget classical furniture. Massive carving is for elite products.

Finishing of classical furniture: patina, gilding, inlay

Final finishing defines the character of the furniture.

Varnishing and polishing

Clear varnish emphasizes wood texture, protects from moisture and dirt. Classical furniture is often varnished in several layers with intermediate sanding, then polished to a mirror shine. Polished surface is a sign of elite furniture (polishing requires time and skill).

Varnish can be matte (modern classic, restraint), semi-matte (balance), glossy (traditional classic, luxury).

Patina

Patina – artificial aging. Paint (usually dark – gray, brown, black) is applied to the furniture, then partially wiped off, revealing the light base. Creates the effect that the furniture has served for decades, worn in places of contact.

Patina adds depth, complexity of color. Especially effective on carved elements – patina accumulates in recesses, emphasizing the relief.

Gilding

Gold leaf (thin sheets of gold or its imitations) is glued onto carved elements. Technology: surface is primed, coated with adhesive (mordant), gold leaf sheets are laid on the adhesive, pressed, excess is cleaned off. Gilding can be solid or partial (only the protruding parts of the carving).

Alternative to gold leaf – gold paint (cheaper, but less noble).

Gilding is an attribute of Baroque, Rococo, Empire. In Neoclassicism, it is used sparingly – only on hardware, individual details.

Inlay

Inlay (marquetry) – setting pieces of other materials (wood of other species, metal, mother-of-pearl, bone) into a wooden surface to create a pattern. Complex technique, requires virtuosity.

Types: intarsia (pattern from wood of different colors), Boulle (brass and tortoiseshell on ebony background – French technique of the 17th century), mother-of-pearl inlay (oriental motifs).

Inlay is used for tabletops, cabinet fronts, doors. This is a sign of exclusive handmade furniture.

Manufacturers of classical furniture: from Italian brands to Russian workshops

Italian furniture

Italy is the birthplace of classical furniture. Italian brands (Angelo Cappellini, Modenese Gastone, Silik) create luxurious furniture in Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassical styles. Solid wood, hand carving, gilding, expensive fabrics. Prices: living room set from 1.5 million rubles, bedroom from 2 million.

Advantages: impeccable quality, brand prestige, authenticity (Italians have been making classic furniture for centuries). Disadvantages: price, long delivery (3-6 months), difficulties with warranty and repair.

Russian manufacturers

Russian workshops create classical furniture, not inferior to Italian, but more affordable in price (30-50% cheaper). They use domestic and imported solid wood, work according to Italian and their own designs, apply manual labor.

Advantages: adequate price, short lead times (1-2 months), possibility of customization (changing dimensions, finishes), convenient warranty service.

Where to buy classic furniture in Russia

Showrooms and salons

In major cities (Moscow, St. Petersburg), there are salons for Italian and Russian classic furniture. You can see items in person, touch them, sit on them. Consultants will help with selection and place an order. Disadvantage: prices are higher than when buying directly from the manufacturer (showroom markup is 20-40%).

Directly from the manufacturer

Buying from the manufacturer (factory, workshop) is more cost-effective. The company STAVROS sells furniture through its website and a showroom in the Moscow region. You can order from a catalog or custom-made to individual dimensions. Manufacturer prices, no intermediary markups.

Online purchase

Buying furniture online requires caution. Important: detailed photos (overall view, carving details, joints), material description (solid wood or MDF, wood species), dimensions, warranties, reviews. It's better to buy from reputable manufacturers with a proven track record.

Frequently asked questions about classic furniture

How to distinguish solid wood from MDF?

By weight (solid wood is heavier), by the end grain (the cross-section of solid wood shows growth rings, MDF shows a uniform pressed structure), by smell (solid wood smells like wood, MDF smells synthetic), by the sound when tapped (solid wood sounds dull and noble, MDF sounds hollow).

What wood is best for classic furniture?

Oak — for maximum durability and prestige, beech — for a balance of price and quality, walnut — for elite furniture with expressive grain. Pine — only for budget solutions.

How long does classic solid wood furniture last?

With proper care: 50-100 years and more. Oak furniture can last for centuries (antique furniture from the 17th-18th centuries is still in excellent condition).

Can furniture be ordered to custom sizes?

Yes, most manufacturers offer customization: changing length, width, height, choice of wood species, finish, upholstery fabric. Production time increases by 2-4 weeks, price by 10-20%.

How to care for classic furniture?

Wipe with a dry soft cloth weekly, with a damp (slightly) cloth — once a month. Use furniture polish every six months. Avoid direct sunlight (fading), heat sources (radiators, fireplaces — wood dries out, cracks), high humidity. Wipe up spilled liquid immediately.

Is classic style suitable for a small apartment?

Classic furniture requires space. In a small apartment, it's better to choose neoclassicism (lighter proportions), light tones, a limited number of pieces. Baroque and Empire styles will overwhelm a small space.

Can classic furniture be combined with modern furniture?

Yes, this is called eclecticism. A classic table with modern chairs, a classic chest of drawers with a minimalist bed. The main thing is to maintain balance, no more than 50/50, otherwise chaos.

Where to order custom classic furniture?

From specialized manufacturers. The company STAVROS manufactures custom classic furniture based on individual projects: you provide a sketch or description, designers develop the model, manufacture it, and deliver it.

Is classic furniture more expensive than modern furniture?

Yes, on average by 50-100%. Reasons: expensive materials (solid wood), manual labor (carving, polishing), production complexity. But classic furniture lasts many times longer, which justifies the investment.

Why does classic furniture never go out of style?

Because classic style is based not on fashion, but on timeless proportions, tested over centuries. Symmetry, the golden ratio, natural materials, craftsmanship — these values do not become outdated.

Company STAVROS: masters of classic furniture with 25 years of experience

Classic furniture is a challenge. A challenge to time, fashion, mediocrity. To create an item that will be relevant in 50 years, that will withstand thousands of use cycles, that will be passed down to grandchildren — this requires skill, knowledge, respect for the material and traditions. STAVROS accepts this challenge daily.

A quarter of a century ago, the company STAVROS started as a small carpentry workshop where several craftsmen turned balusters for staircases. Today it is a large production complex in the Moscow region with an area of 5000 m², where dozens of specialists work: designers, technologists, carpenters, carvers, assemblers, upholsterers. But the philosophy has remained the same: to create furniture that lasts for decades, that pleases the eye and soul.

The STAVROS production base consists of workshops equipped with modern equipment and hand tools. Panel saws cut solid wood into blanks. Thickness planers and jointers level surfaces to a perfect plane. Four-sided molders profile parts. CNC lathes turn legs, posts, balusters with an accuracy of ±0.2 mm. Milling centers create carved elements based on digital models.

But the heart of production is the carpentry workshop, where craftsmen work by hand. Carvers carve acanthus leaves, shells, cartouches with chisels and carving tools — a technique unchanged for centuries. Carpenters assemble frames with mortise and tenon and dowel joints, glue them, check angles and diagonals. Sanders bring surfaces to a velvety finish, using sandpaper from P80 to P320. Painters apply stains, patina, varnishes, polish to a mirror shine. Upholsterers stretch fabrics and leather, sew on buttons for tufting.

STAVROS sources raw materials from trusted suppliers. Oak from the Krasnodar region — density 720 kg/m³, large-pored texture, free of rot and deep cracks. Beech from the Caucasus — light with a pinkish tint, uniform structure, ideal for carving. Walnut from Transcaucasia — dark with chocolate tones, noble texture. All wood undergoes kiln drying to 8-10% moisture content — a guarantee of stability.

Upholstery fabrics and leather are Italian and Turkish. Velvet, velour, jacquard with a density of 400-600 g/m², abrasion-resistant. Natural leather 1.2-1.5 mm thick, soft, with natural texture. Hardware is German and Polish: hinges, drawer slides, brass and bronze handles.

The STAVROS classic furniture collection includes dozens of models in Baroque, Rococo, Empire, Neoclassical styles. Living rooms: three-seater and two-seater sofas, armchairs, coffee tables, consoles, display cabinets, chests of drawers. Bedrooms: single and double beds, bedside tables, chests of drawers, wardrobes, dressing tables with mirrors. Dining rooms: rectangular, oval, round dining tables (extendable and non-extendable), chairs with soft seats and backs. Studies: writing desks, bookcases, reading chairs.

All models are available in several finish options: natural oak with oil (highlights the texture), tinted oak (wenge, walnut, mahogany), patinated (artificial aging), painted with gilding (Baroque, Rococo). Upholstery — choice from 50+ fabric and leather options.

Custom projects are the pride of STAVROS. Do you want a bed 220 cm wide (non-standard)? A dining table 3.5 meters long? A wardrobe 3 meters high to the ceiling? Carving based on your sketch? STAVROS designers will develop the model, technologists will calculate the construction, craftsmen will manufacture it. Lead time 4-8 weeks, price 20-30% higher than standard, but you get unique furniture created specifically for you.

Consultations: the STAVROS office in Moscow has a showroom featuring samples from all collections. Designers will help select a set for your interior, calculate the cost, suggest finish options. Designer site visit — for measurements and planning — is free for orders over 500,000 rubles.

Choosing STAVROS means choosing reliability, proven by a quarter of a century. Thousands of clients — from owners of country residences to city apartments — have furnished their homes with STAVROS furniture and live surrounded by beauty, comfort, quality. Create interiors that are timeless, that do not become outdated, that become family heirlooms. With STAVROS furniture, your home gains a soul, a history, the nobility of classic style.
