                  Certification of Chief Executive Officer


I, Franklin A. Jacobs, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Falcon
Products, Inc. certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Falcon Products,
     Inc. (the "Registrant").

2.   Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any
     untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
     necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
     under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to
     the period covered by this quarterly report.

3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
     information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all
     material respects the financial condition, results of operations and
     cash flows of the Registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in
     this quarterly report.

4.   The Registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for
     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
     defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the
     Registrant and have:

     a)   designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
          disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
          supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
          Registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known
          to us by others within those entities, particularly during the
          period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;

     b)   evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrant's disclosure
          controls and procedures and presented in this quarterly report our
          conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
          procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly
          report based on such evaluation; and

     c)   disclosed in this quarterly report any change in the Registrant's
          internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
          Registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the Registrant's first
          quarter in the case of this quarterly report) that has materially
          affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
          Registrant's internal control over financial reporting.

5.   The Registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based
     on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
     reporting, to the Registrant's auditors and the audit committee of
     Registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
     functions):

     a)   all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
          or operation of internal controls over financial reporting, which
          are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Registrant's ability
          to record, process, summarize and report financial information;
          and

     b)   any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
          other employees who have a significant role in the Registrant's
          internal controls over financial reporting.
