Founded in 1978, Clive Christian Furniture Co. has created luxury kitchens and interiors for over 40 years. The company invented the statement kitchen, using opulent features such as chandeliers, marquetry, decorative columns and large islands. Customers soon wanted the same luxurious style throughout their home so Clive Christian furniture now extends into every room of the house.

Clive Christian is globally recognised for its exquisite quality and great British craftsmanship. All cabinetry is hand made by trained artisans and craftspeople in its workshop in Farnworth, Bolton. From here it is exported to luxury residences worldwide to furnish the homes of prestigious customers including Hollywood celebrities and premiership footballers.

Owner David Dare purchased Clive Christian Furniture in 2019. He has invested significantly in the business and has ambitious plans for the future growth of this internationally recognised Great British brand. A new management team has been put into place to drive sales, business and product development. This has created a number of exciting new opportunities to join the team, which currently numbers around 60 people.
