Turning 100 years old this year is very special for all the employees of Hickory Chair. We want to say thank you to everyone who has chosen Hickory Chair pieces for their homes these past 100 years. We enjoy receiving emails with pictures of family heirlooms and special finds at antique stores that so many of you have shared with us.
This week we have introduced a very special new collection at the Spring International Home Furnishings Market in High Point, North Carolina. To create the 1911 Collection, a group of us perused our earliest catalogs. As we reminiscedabout the products in these vintage catalogs beginning in the 1930's, we realized how beautiful and timeless many of the forms were. We selected distinctive timeless pieces that we felt could be updated for today. The result is a grouping of pieces that are respectful of their heritage but are decidedly modern!
Normally you have to wait up to six months after market to see new pieces in stores, catalogs or web sites. Not with Hickory Chair! Our craftsmen in Hickory, North Carolina have already made pieces that have been ordered at market and are shipping them to the stores that ordered them! Therefore, we have already posted the 1911 collection to our web site. With over 87% of our entire product line made in Hickory by our talented craftsmen can offer custom finishes, sizes and other options that will allow you to personalize pieces for your home and made for you in just a couple weeks from order!
Beautiful collection...looking forward to seeing it in person at the NYDC!
