Demand for British-made products has seen a huge increase in orders for sofas and chairs made in Long Eaton from Australia, Japan and The Middle East.
Luxury furniture manufacturers Duresta Upholstery, based in Fields Farm Road, has a long history of selling abroad and exports around 25 per cent of its goods each year.
The firm has recently seen like-for-like sales rocket by 112 per cent in Australia, 147 per cent in the Middle East and 25 per cent in Japan.
Sales operations manager Jade Blackburn believes there are a number of reasons for the increase, including a growing demand for UK-made products.
She said: "The surge in sales can be accounted for by the recovery in confidence in the Middle Eastern market following the periods of unrest in the region during the last couple of years.
"Japan and Australia's success is a result of the launch of the Domus collection - our classic contemporary offering, which appeals to their market's tastes and styling."
But the firm, which employs 200 people and has a retail value turnover of more than £30 million, has seen a 20 per cent drop in year-on-year sales to Russia.
The company was previously selling around £2 million worth of products to the country each year - which accounted for one quarter of all exports.
Chief executive Clive Kenyon-Brown cited a loss of confidence in the market after the Rouble lost 50 per cent of its value following the Crimea crisis last year.
He said: "The feel good factor in Russia has been really badly hurt on a social level because of the sanctions.
"The sanctions have caused the currency to drop by 50 per cent, so people are holding off.
"President Putin has told people to buy Russian too. He is not encouraging imports so that's had an effect and if we think about the wealthy people in Russia, their assets and bank accounts have been frozen from outside Russia."
Mr Kenyon-Brown said the sales drop would not result in any job losses at firm.
He explained: "The business is in good order; we have just come off our busiest December in recent years. In addition to that we have just got back from the January Furniture Show at the NEC in Birmingham where we had a really excellent time."
He also said he was confident the market would return to normal soon, and called for more support from the Government to encourage trade with the UK.
He said: "We went over there in November time and we went to see some of our key customers and work out a programme of events [held by Duresta] in Russia over the next 12 months to help grow confidence back in the market. We are extremely confident that we will win that business back again."
Duresta usually attracts a number of potential Russian buyers to its stall at the NEC show, but this year they were all unable to obtain visas.
Mr Kenyon-Brown added: "The Foreign Office have put in restrictions in regards to visas being issued to Russian citizens travelling to Britain for business.
"We would like to see the Government easing restrictions on Russian business visas and we want to see more investment in giving support to trade missions into the UK to drive export sales globally."
A spokesperson for UK Trade and Investment, the Government-funded international trade organisation, said: "The Government continues to assess the most effective way to apply EU sanctions without causing undue damage to British business. We will continue to maintain a good dialogue with businesses across a range of sectors. Though we recognise that sanctions cannot be painless, we must remember why these sanctions have come into force. They are designed to deter further destabilisation and convince Russia to engage with the international community.
"Businesses that have interests in Russia should ensure they visit gov.uk for the latest position."
