Introduction

PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately I am not in a position to value items so you would best contact a dealer in South Africa for their advice.  

I was aware that my grandfather's furniture had become collectible in South Africa, and decided that it was time to put as much information I have on here. Hopefully you will find the history of BELWEB of some interest. I have discovered that the factory still stands in Observatory and the furniture has reached the shores of New Zealand, Australia, USA, Belgium and England. BELWEB was distributed by 'Miekles'[1] so there must be pieces throughout homes in South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Ridgways Furniture and Caledon Villa have very kindly allowed me to use their photographs that appear on these pages and I have also posted images taken from the internet  - if you own the copyright and want the image removed, please contact me. I will continue to add to these in an attempt to build up a database of the pieces the factory manufactured. 

If you have an item of BELWEB furniture and would like it to appear on these pages please feel free to email me an image. 

It is great knowing that my grandfather has given so much pleasure to so many people over the years and hopefully for many more to come. I have a FaceBook page if you would like to leave a comment or have a query.
