Furniture Classics is a company who produces solid wood, antique reproduction furniture. This company is three generations strong, and dedicated to producing well priced, dependable constructions of authentic reproductions.

They have several product lines. Solid wood and traditional construction details are themes throughout each product design. Using kiln dried woods consisting of acacia, alder, mahogany, oak, pine and teak. Their craftsmen combine these timbers with traditional mortise, tenon, dovetail and dowel joints creating exquisite pieces of furniture. “Tenon through” and “dowel through” constructions are evident on many items. Naturally these old world techniques are combined with modern glue and screws where craftsmen have deemed necessary, but this is all part of bringing increased value to customers.

Stain and painted finishes are hand applied starting with physical distressing, and ending with lacquered top coats. These solid wood pieces are often enhanced with intricate hand-painted designs and finishes.
