Today Hickory Chair officially launched the 10th anniversary of the Thomas O'Brien Collection with an dynamic introduction of classic modern forms. The collection is complete with bedroom, dining room and living room pieces that are inspired by his passion for collecting timeless forms from different eras and then mixing them in unexpected ways creating modern interiors.
These distinctive pieces feature fine details such as hand applied nail head trim, fine book-matched walnut and mahogany veneers, custom hardware and fine hand carving. In this room scene, the Warner Lounge Chair is shown that is a reproduction of a 1755 George II sleeping chair, the Atheneum Sofa with its upholstered leg that rests upon an antique brass ferrule, the stately Sheffield Sideboard with the Keaton Mirror with its scored clear mirror, the Sebastian Side Chair with its very tall back, the graceful Inama Tray Table in its soft beige painted finish, and the Classico Cocktail Table with its faux shagreen top, bookmatched walnut veneered base that rests upon antique brass ferrules. The unique forms complement each other creating comfort and luxury.
We are very proud that almost every piece from the new collection was made by the talented craftsmen in our Hickory, North Carolina workroom. It is because of these dedicated craftsmen that Thomas entrusts his creations to Hickory Chair. He does not doubt the passion and ability to execute these finely made pieces. Their quality of construction will allow them to become tomorrow's antiques.
We wish you could be here with us to see this beautiful and distinctive new collection!
