About Us

From the world’s finest homes to the most luxurious yachts and sophisticated hotels, each piece we craft reflects our unwavering commitment to quality, combining expert craftsmanship with timeless design to deliver exceptional beauty and function.

Our Story

Founded in 1988 by Mark Asplin Whiteley in Cirencester, the company was built on Mark's early work with renowned furniture designer David Linley. Throughout the 1980s, Mark became the key maker for Linley, solidifying his reputation as a master craftsman. This partnership laid the foundation for Asplin Whiteley’s rise as one of the most respected names in fine furniture.

Now located in Whitby, North Yorkshire, our workshop and dedicated team includes designers, CNC operators, craftsmen, and office staff, all united by a shared philosophy: it’s not just about what we create, but how we create it.
