Services
We make quality-crafted period furniture using the same techniques that have been passed down for generations. Each Queen Anne, Chippendale, and Hepplewhite piece is reproduced in cherry, walnut, mahogany, or maple. Backs and drawers are constructed from poplar or pine, and drawers are hand dove-tailed with chamfered bottoms.
American Queen Anne furniture was generally made of walnut; however, different areas of the colonies also used maple and cherry. Characteristics of Queen Anne furniture are the distinctive cabriole leg with curving knee and feet, using a Dutch pad foot. Pointing the pad foot becomes a slipper foot, and elaboration of the pad foot becomes a tripod foot.
American Chippendale furniture tends to follow Georgian forms, whereas English Chippendale uses a variety of Rococo, Chinese and gothic designs, along with the Georgian classical form. Some Queen Anne influence can be found with the cabriole leg design, the pad foot now replaced with the claw and ball foot.
In the late 1700s Chippendale still influenced America's furniture style. However, Hepplewhite brought certain changes easily recognized. Extensive inlay work and flaring bracket feet typical of Hepplewhite were used on chests with Chippendale style broken and scrolled pediments. Square tapered legs were used on drop leaf tables and sideboards.
