    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

Jonathan Walkey is retired professional furniture maker who now makes selected pieces for discriminating clients. I am a one man studio, specializing in decorative arts and crafts, mid-century, Greene & Green, etc. furniture. my own personal style generally includes contrasting hardwoods with beautiful grains and hand worked inlays. In between commissions I simultaneously work on personal studio furniture projects.

I was raised in Lincoln Massachusetts where my father was the director of the DeCordova Museum of modern art. My mother worked as an expert in fine crafts and furniture . I attended many arts and crafts classes and summer art camps at the Museum. I was trained as a silversmith at age 11 and at age 12 built a 10 foot kayak made of wood and canvas. I was a U.S. Navy trained aviation mechanic and earned my living for 15 years as a master mechanic, working mainly on motorcycles. I am also a former carpenter, criminal appellate attorney, credentialed teacher, professional writer, and painter.

Today I apply my talents and interests to building fine arts and craft furniture. My lifelong continuing education combines training of the mind with training of the hands. What you buy from Jonathan is fine art as well as heirloom quality furniture built to last many lifetimes. These qualities are reflected in the cost of my work, neither of which should ever be compared with that of commercial furniture.

    After endless hours searching in stores and online for a sofa table, I couldn't find anything that fit my style and the size I needed. That is until I found Jonathan of Antikea. He didn't build me the table I had in mind; he created something 100x better! This was my first time using CustomMade and Jonathan walked me through the entire process, providing tailored design and wood suggestions based on photos I sent him. I received the table only a few weeks after his initial proposal and it is nothing short of perfection! The high-quality woods, precise joinery, and special details Jonathan added to the breadboard ends and legs have made this an heirloom piece that my family will enjoy for years!

    We just received our table last evening. The craftsmanship is superb and we love the table. We would recommend this craftsman highly to anyone and will use him for another project that we are working on. Shipping was a little slow , but the end result was excellent, and the shipping personnel were professional and courteous and careful.
    Overall extremely satisfied.

    Working with Jonathan was such a pleasure. In corresponding with him I knew my cart was in very good hands. I got my cart today and the pictures that he sent me did not do it justice. The cart is fabulous. I would consider Jonathan on any of my future projects.

    Thanks again Jonathan.
