Curtis & Curtis is a family owned/run business and we take a great pride in our name and customer service. We have been based at Wiener Platz, close to the center of Munich for over 20 years.
We believe that the best form of advertising is by recommendation from satisfied customers. Lee Curtis (British) begun restoring and selling antique furniture in London in the 1970s. Curtis & Curtis was founded in Wiener Platz when Lee moved to Munich and married Eva (German) in the 1990s. The shop originally sold antiques only. The transition to include designing and making new furniture (in a traditional style) was gradual and resulted from requests made by customers.
Our handmade, solid wood, Furniture Range uses a simple, classic 19th century style suited to mix with modern furniture or other antiques. This is made to have a character similar to antique pieces and, using this style, we can make practically anything you wish.
You have only to discuss your specific needs with our design team and we will produce a professional scaled drawing for you to consider. We will also inform you exactly what the item will cost and a delivery date (often less than 8 weeks). This is a free service.
We produce hundreds of special customer requirement drawings per year and most are accepted and made. This can be anything from a small bed-side table to a huge 4 meter long bedroom wardrobe, restaurant bar or private library.
When you visit our showroom you can view samples of our standard product range - over 100 popular items that we continually produce - You may find something that fulfils your needs or, if not, we can adapt any of our existing designs to suit your specific requirements. So it will not be difficult for you to imagine how your special piece will look - it will most likely be a slight size variation of something that we are already making!
