All of us at Hickory Chair have returned ready for an exciting year after our annual holiday closing between Christmas and New Year. This year, 2010, is exciting for us at Hickory Chair because we are celebrating our 99th year in business! In the beginning, we only made dining chairs with slip seats but within a few short years we were also making sofas, rocking chairs, and every type of chair imagineable! By 1930 we had expanded into bedroom, dining room and living room pieces as well. This great foundation of experience and craftsmanship have given us the ability to have one of the most extensive product assortments available today!
Do you love classic forms? Our extensive assortment of 18th Century reproductions and adaptations may be ordered in their standard finish for a classic traditional look. The joy we have is when you take one of these classic forms and then personalize them through finish, hardware, striping, de-construction or other ways to make it fit your room. Shown above is the Graham Dining Table, Evan Cabinet, Brandywine Sofa, Cabriole Side Chair, Avon Chair and Charles Hassock.
Do you love continental pieces? Do you love pieces that look as if you have traveled Europe and found special antiques for your home? We share this passion for the collected, traveled look. Our Suzanne Kasler collection along with pieces from other collections such as Atelier, French, Winterthur and San Marino allow you to easily find the continental forms. Shown above is the Frederica Bench, Alexandra Side Chair, Antoinette Side Table and Anastasic Bench by Suzanne Kasler.
Do you appreciate a modern aesthetic? Ten years ago we introduced the Thomas O'Brien Collection that allowed Hickory Chair to embrace a modern aesthetic we were not known for. Today every collection and every piece we make may be used in a modern interior. Shown in this scene is the Chelsea Bed, Keith Desk, Madison Chair, Modern Club Chair and Studio Accessory Table all by Thomas O'Brien. This modern room is filled with pieces that are undeniablely classic, timeless forms.
What is your style? You can make it with Hickory Chair!
Well congratulations on 99 years!! Wow, I can hardly believe it has been a decade since the Thomas O'Brien collection was introduced!! I remember meeting him in your showroom, it was the first time and I had a published book with his work in it ready for him to sign...which he did so graciously. Can you believe how much things have changed?! Your images are, as always, beautiful...and incredibly diverse. Again, congratulations;)
Happy new year,
Jaime
