Maurice’s Olde World Furnishings

Maurice’s Olde World Furnishings has been family owned and operated in Jupiter since 1981, giving it more than four decades of history in a town that has changed considerably since the shop first opened. The showroom sits in the Jupiter Park area west of downtown, an industrial and commercial district that is less about foot traffic and more about the kind of destination shopping that a furniture and antiques business depends on.

Maurice Jonker Jr. currently heads operations at the Jupiter showroom, continuing a business built around custom furniture, cabinetry, and antiques rather than mass produced pieces shipped in from a warehouse. The shop’s specialty is custom built dining tables, wall units, built-ins, kitchen islands, and bathroom vanities, all constructed using solid wood and traditional furniture building techniques rather than particleboard and veneer.

Antiques and architectural pieces make up another major part of the inventory, alongside reclaimed and refurbished furniture and antique reproductions. The shop describes its approach as reclaimed, refurbished, and reimagined, taking older wood and pieces and giving them new life rather than treating furniture as disposable. That approach has earned the shop a loyal following among customers who have called it one of the best kept secrets in South Florida for finding furniture with real character.

Because the shop also runs a production facility in Port St Lucie, custom orders placed through the Jupiter showroom are built rather than simply pulled off a sales floor, which sets Maurice’s apart from a typical furniture retailer that only sells what is already in stock. Customers working with the shop can expect a more involved process, discussing dimensions, wood species, and finish before a piece is built specifically for their home.

The showroom keeps consistent hours, open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 am to 5 pm and closed Sunday, giving shoppers a wide window during the week to browse the antiques and custom pieces on the floor. The shop maintains a presence across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, and Houzz, reflecting a business that has built a following well beyond just walk in traffic in Jupiter Park.

For Jupiter residents furnishing a home with something more distinctive than what a big box furniture store carries, Maurice’s Olde World Furnishings offers a combination of antiques, architectural salvage, and custom built solid wood furniture from a family business that has been part of the local landscape since 1981.

Jupiter Park itself is home to a mix of local trades, showrooms, and small manufacturers, and Maurice’s has become one of the more established names in that district, drawing customers from across northern Palm Beach County who are willing to make a special trip for pieces that will not be found at a chain furniture store. That destination pull, built on decades of word of mouth rather than heavy advertising, is part of what has kept a shop like this running in the same corner of Jupiter for well over forty years.
