R.J. Horner & Co. operated primarily between 1886 and 1915, establishing a reputation for producing some of America's most exquisite and finely carved furniture during the Gilded Age. Their work is characterized by its opulent style, featuring deeply carved mythological figures, griffins, lions, gargoyles, cherubs, and intricate floral motifs.

Each piece tells a story of the era's appreciation for elaborate artistry and substantial, heirloom-quality furnishings. At Texas Lonestar Antiques, we curate pieces that exemplify this legendary craftsmanship, bringing these historical treasures to your home.
