Established

An expansive interior, featuring architectural details and handcrafted polished wood, suggests longevity and prosperity. Which is why it makes sense to look to regal design eras that span decades rather than years when creating a traditional kitchen.

Clive Christian Chicago imports kitchens directly from their parent company in England.

The company's Regency, Victorian and Edwardian kitchens are modeled closely on the designs, motifs and craftsmanship that are synonymous with each period.

The Regency kitchen in honey oak antique, featured here, is a classic traditional kitchen on a grand scale. There are solid oak architectural details, such as an acanthus frieze, columns, corbels, pilasters, and the over-mantle above the range cooker. Hand polishing accentuates the grain of the solid oak wood in a kitchen interior crowned by an ornate chandelier.

The Victorian and Edwardian kitchens are a compilation of key aesthetic elements such as raised and fielded panels, fluted friezes, pilasters and glazed dressers.

Every kitchen is custom designed to suit individual requirements. A variety of accent pieces and a range of colors enable homeowners to personalize their design.

All Clive Christian furniture is handmade in Britain, using natural materials from managed resources.
