About Davidson London: Crafting Exquisite Bespoke British Furniture

Alexandra Davidson
Managing Director

Managing Director Alexandra Davidson began her career at DAVIDSON over 22 years ago, following a role at leading PR agency Halpern, where she worked with top lifestyle and interiors brands.

Her open, people-first approach combines drive and focus with a deep understanding of both the business and its clients. Known for her positivity and vision, Alexandra has led DAVIDSON through times of uncertainty, upholding its status as a leader in British luxury furniture.

Balancing family life and business with grace, she champions a culture that values people and passion equally, believing true success is being able to work with her family and still enjoy Sunday lunch together.

Richard Davidson
Chairman & Design Director

Richard Davidson co-founded DAVIDSON in 1986 with his wife Deirdre, bringing with him a deep appreciation for design, a strong entrepreneurial spirit, and years of experience in the world of antiques.

Starting his career at Ayer & Company in Mayfair, Richard was mentored by Nat Ayer, then President of the British Antique Dealers’ Association. Surrounded by 18th-century English furniture, he developed a refined eye for craftsmanship — a skill further honed at Christie’s and Sotheby’s before launching his own antiques business in 1974.

Sourcing and restoring exceptional pieces across the UK and Europe, Richard built a loyal client base in London and New York, eventually becoming the youngest member elected to the British Antique Dealers’ Association. These experiences laid the foundation for DAVIDSON, a company now renowned for its luxury furniture and timeless British design. Richard remains actively involved, ensuring the same high standards and design excellence endure today.

Matthew Hepburn
Sales Director

As Sales Director at DAVIDSON, Matthew Hepburn is responsible for driving growth and expanding the company’s global client base. With a calm, confident approach and a talent for communication, he brings both energy and integrity to the role.

Since joining the company in 2017, shortly after marrying Managing Director Alexandra Davidson, Matthew has played a key role in shaping the business. Their shared ambition and entrepreneurial spirit have helped take DAVIDSON to new heights.

Known for his inquisitive nature and personable style, Matthew builds strong client relationships through his belief in genuine, high-touch service. His focus and passion continue to reinforce DAVIDSON’s reputation as a leader in timeless British design.
