About Us

Royal Chairs

John Richards Furniture began trading at 72-74 The Parade Norwood in 1956. Assisted by his wife Jean and just a few staff, John went on to establish one of the most successful furniture stores in South Australia. Regular buying trips to Britain and Europe brought quality furniture to homes of many South Australians.

Pictured right are chairs designed by F. Millward Grey and carved by John E. Richards for Queen Elizabeth & Duke of Edinburgh to use in Adelaide during Royal Tour Australia in 1954. They are made of Queensland mahogany.

Royal Box

Pictured left is a box carved by John Richards, which was a gift from South Australia to the Duke of Edinburgh during the Royal Tour Australia 1954.

Over the years people have put their confidence in the name 'John Richards', a process which continues today under the guidance of his son Matthew. Matthew and John have, between them, notched up 68 years in making, carving, restoring and polishing furniture.
