My Story
Craftsmanship/Antique making goods started with Allie Martins in the 1940’s in Graaf-Reinet. As the generation went on, our father continued with the business and decided to register the business in 2016 and named it Werwel Holdings.
The name Werwel comes from the early years whereby at that time a piece of wood with a hole inside was used, which was the only secure thing that could keep doors locked. Today the same piece of wood is being used on the Antique cabinets to keep the items inside the cabinets intact.
Our attention to detail and commitment to superior customer service ensures that customers receive a unique product that complement the existing décor in their homes. We use raw materials that are of the highest quality as well as recycling and upcycling discarded quality items such as chandeliers and other glass and wood products.
Our customers are also looking for a long-term investment when purchasing designer furniture pieces and we therefore ensure that our products are manufactured from the best quality raw materials and accessories so that they remain durable and timeless.
The retail sector has shown a keen interest in our products, particularly in our uniquely designed cabinets. We have supplied several furniture stores in the past, including Tafelberg Furnitures, Boeresjiek, and Gister amongst others, as well as interior designers.
Our mission is to amplify the current wave of recycling and upcycling by implementing new and creative ideas to manufacture unique products with wood furniture, lights and mirrors. Werwel Holdings works closely with customers to ensure distinctive designs and satisfaction.
