James Peddle was a British furniture designer and maker active in the early 20th century, best known for his contributions to the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau movements. Based in High Wycombe, a historic center of English furniture making, Peddle produced finely crafted pieces that balanced practicality with refined decorative detail. His work often featured gentle curves, stylized inlays, and carefully selected timbers, reflecting both the ideals of handcrafted integrity and the graceful lines of contemporary design. Peddle's furniture was sold through notable retailers and exhibitions, earning a reputation for quality and understated elegance. Though less widely known than some of his contemporaries, James Peddle's work remains valued today for its thoughtful proportions, craftsmanship, and quiet contribution to the development of early modern British furniture.
