It's All About You: Part 2

Hickory Chair has continuously made luxurious timeless upholstery since 1911. The fresh and classic designs by Alexa Hampton, Mariette Himes Gomez, Suzanne Kasler and Thomas O’Brien give HC a depth that few furniture makers can equal. In addition, historical places such as the James River Plantations along the James River in Virginia and the Winterthur Museum along with the vast archive from American antiques expert Albert Sack have allowed Hickory Chair the right to reproduce time proven classics.

Kiln dried hardwood frames prevent the frame from warping. Only cherry and maple are used in stress areas of Hickory Chair upholstered frames. The exposed mahogany is finger-jointed to the hardwood frame for extra strength. Only the finest mahogany is used for Hickory Chair exposed wood upholstery.

Next, HC shapes their frames. Each item gets its shape from the wooden frame and not from the padding. All padding will pack and shift over time. As a result of the frame having the final shape with softness added with padding, the result is that the item will retain its curves and neat tailoring for decades of use!

Each item features custom engineered seating comfort. This is simply a method where a variety of gauges and sizes of double-cone springs are used to create a platform with the appropriate support to create maximum comfort. Each spring is hand-tied in 8 points with 100% polyester tying twine. This twine will not break, stretch or rot. In addition to the strong polypropylene canvas base, a row of steel bands are nailed into the frame underneath each row of springs. Hickory Chair springs will never sag!


And with that...let the show begin.

This is the Sheraton Love Seat.
