<div class="entry-body">
There is no better way to start the New Year than to say Thank You to everyone who turned to <a href="http://www.hickorychair.com/" target="_blank">Hickory Chair</a> for made to order wood and upholstered furniture. You kept all of us very busy all year long making one-of-a-kind pieces. You challenged us with custom special construction requests that helped our talented team hone their skills. You are to thank for a brisk start to the New Year with a workroom full of requests for our nearly 600 artisans and craftsmen. This New Year marks 105 years of making Hickory Chair heirlooms!<br />
<br />
We thank the designers and sales associates that traveled to Hickory, North Carolina to participate in our Hickory University training program in 2015. We have a busy year planned with events planned for March 7-9 and also in May, June, August, September and November. This engaging experience awards .6 CEU credits as well! If you are interested in learning more about our upcoming events send us an email at press@hickorychair.com. We love getting to know talented individuals during the event and following their achievements upon their return home. We thought you would enjoy seeing some beautiful rooms from a home that <a href="http://www.easterlingandnash.com/about/" target="_blank">Nina Nash and Don Easterlin</a>g, Hickory University graduates from <a href="http://mathewsfurniture.com/index.php" target="_blank">Mathews Furniture</a> in Atlanta, Georgia, designed and shared with us in 2015.<br />

I investigated to see how long <a href="http://www.hickorychair.com/">Hickory Chair</a> had been making this wing chair. Since November 2, 1982 this wing chair has been made to order for clients. Twenty-seven years seems like a very long time until you consider that we have been making furniture since 1911! We actually have a chair that is pictured in our 1930 catalog! As this is the oldest catalog in existence, we really do not know when we began making that chair!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">I </span>thought more about how many other ways that I have seen the 1857-55 Chippendale Wing Chair upholstered over the years. I found a few pictures that helped me realize how a timeless form may be personalized for the home it is being made for. For example, the picture of the pair of chairs at the upper left were in a nice white sateen with a red and white braided welt cord. I can see this pair of chairs in a beautiful, traditional living room.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikKn1CPg5FXTpev-whuFMqZULy0ifTqg64i7KGLhgT9GfPwvq6PUP8n1Bx049yK7uGLaV2anVpE7kJgXkfMq62RfTqhRHCp8sTY2U8LL243q_m3Ba8TBqA5YVczYQV96DLLYf5J3WTnZo4/s1600-h/1857-55-haironhide.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400695107432280434" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikKn1CPg5FXTpev-whuFMqZULy0ifTqg64i7KGLhgT9GfPwvq6PUP8n1Bx049yK7uGLaV2anVpE7kJgXkfMq62RfTqhRHCp8sTY2U8LL243q_m3Ba8TBqA5YVczYQV96DLLYf5J3WTnZo4/s200/1857-55-haironhide.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">I</span>n the next picture, shown right, is an example where the designer sent COL hair-on-hide to Hickory Chair to upholster on the chair. They chose a contrasting solid leather for the seat cushion. I can almost see the snow falling outside the big picture windows at the mountain home where this chair might be located or perhaps this chair found a home on a ranch where the family spends their weekends and holidays!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYnfvMpG0SpDRrjERTLxLs4aFabLjGcanPY9Np34dL0y1Q7ysCv1tdR144SeWgAIIQMcKTigl84DYymYZmEyx9C-XC07vOJ1a1O1YFTw-7S1Yun-uhVJJttPSWjg9v5QRGoNLmaUODH0Sj/s1600-h/1857-55+wing+chair.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 123px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400694929101368562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYnfvMpG0SpDRrjERTLxLs4aFabLjGcanPY9Np34dL0y1Q7ysCv1tdR144SeWgAIIQMcKTigl84DYymYZmEyx9C-XC07vOJ1a1O1YFTw-7S1Yun-uhVJJttPSWjg9v5QRGoNLmaUODH0Sj/s200/1857-55+wing+chair.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">I</span>n this example, the designer asked that we make the chair with a tight seat and eliminate the loose seat cushion entirely. They chose a reproduction French flour sack type fabric and used nail head trim to punctuate the fine lines of the shapes of the chair. These chairs could have shipped anywhere!</div><div> </div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size:180%;">A</span>t the end of the day, it is up to you to decide what your style is and ask for it.

She found at an antique store a vintage <a href="http://www.hickorychair.com/">Hickory Chair</a> wing chair made in 1996. She saw past the dated blue damask fabric to see the fine proportion and scale of the chair. She knew it's quality of construction and quickly purchased it for her home. Turning over her prize possession to her local upholsterer along with her carefully chosen COM, the end result is a modern form for her home today. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLYhXYofnelGMOf-Kh18QL-ysnKCWYUS8EtdbwPe7dttIiE88fkls7L_XQ0J_-J83H6IlyLt6A2EvYihzm3eToQSEpsczHQTzXTYVdOPucMsuZG2dLWr_K8vcs9VbXz4ZW1mYtw2YA0Rdb/s1600-h/Design+Lines+After.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400249975789316946" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 196px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 246px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLYhXYofnelGMOf-Kh18QL-ysnKCWYUS8EtdbwPe7dttIiE88fkls7L_XQ0J_-J83H6IlyLt6A2EvYihzm3eToQSEpsczHQTzXTYVdOPucMsuZG2dLWr_K8vcs9VbXz4ZW1mYtw2YA0Rdb/s200/Design+Lines+After.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">T</span>he craftsman was able to strip and recover the chair because of the solid wood frame with mahogany legs and stretcher.

This time proven method is still in use today at Hickory Chair. Most companies today use CAD cutting machine to cut out plywood frames that are not intended for re-upholstery some day. We take the time to make a heirloom quality solid wood frame that will allow you to re-upholster the piece for your home and pass it down to future generations. The custom engineered 8-way hand tied springs with underlying steel bands were intact and did not need repair or replacement. The spring-down seat cushion was still resilient due to the quality of the coil springs, high density foam and down-proof ticking with channels of down, small duck feathers and ultracell fiber mix. The triple doweled frame with its corner glue blocks held with glue and 4 screws each held each joint strong as the day it was made. This hand made solid wood frame deserves to be re-covered again and again in the future!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:180%;">W</span>hy fill up the landfills with furniture when you can re-purpose these classic pieces for modern homes?

Their ideas lead to innovation never attempted before not only at Hickory Chair but by furniture manufactuers.

She showed beautiful examples of its use and then suggested that improperly used it could be horrid. I commented that bullion fringe can really soften the lines not only of the piece but the entire room when used with great taste. For example, this <a href="http://hickorychair.com/product_detail.aspx?i=3899">Cloverleaf Ottoman</a> (from Hickory Chair of course) has been dressed with optional bullion fringe. The bullion fringe adds softness to the curvilinear lines of the skirted form. </div><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT_YuAN-76KNA_LcOhcJBmQ2bP6Gh6vrxPWnxFzRbqX9woWf6Epiea2MDenwKyxwGH85desABAdOTZg0ElAulR5C_nQ6yFvzLcSgTV9BbZ8t11pSF2Zn9fiCXtFsa4of4O2PLEb_FgzdHQ/s1600-h/395_29RM.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385346489361147778" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT_YuAN-76KNA_LcOhcJBmQ2bP6Gh6vrxPWnxFzRbqX9woWf6Epiea2MDenwKyxwGH85desABAdOTZg0ElAulR5C_nQ6yFvzLcSgTV9BbZ8t11pSF2Zn9fiCXtFsa4of4O2PLEb_FgzdHQ/s320/395_29RM.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><span style="font-size:180%;">W</span>hen this Cloverleaf Ottoman with the fringe is used in a room it takes that additional step to soften the entire room. In this room (featured in the Hickory Chair Showroom in High Point, NC), the curvilinear form balances the linear shapes of the doors, mirror, sofa and pull up chairs. The bullion fringe softens the use of the very dark finishes used on the wood pieces and exposed wood upholstery. The designer has created a very modern feel with the selection of pieces of furniture, their arrangement and the variety of finishes, fabrics, leather and trim. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:180%;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:180%;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:180%;">I</span>n this example, also from the Hickory Chair Showroom, <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizRWB2xw3OFbICwPxsVXQgw0LvCRBJSwse6-_lycwBxGoxWvVH7p2LUr8tx9bYjt92PacFB7ZCNPZ8VfHbbXR6K4bAdhAX1JgVLMGOAQWIYnPA1mct762BflH_tPblePZxE3tDG_bbwgUi/s1600-h/9789_70RM.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 294px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 351px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385347713332996914" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizRWB2xw3OFbICwPxsVXQgw0LvCRBJSwse6-_lycwBxGoxWvVH7p2LUr8tx9bYjt92PacFB7ZCNPZ8VfHbbXR6K4bAdhAX1JgVLMGOAQWIYnPA1mct762BflH_tPblePZxE3tDG_bbwgUi/s320/9789_70RM.jpg" /></a>the room is soft and elegant with the use of the Weathered French Grey paint on the <a href="http://www.hickorychair.com/product_detail.aspx?i=4387">Left Bank Bed</a> upholstered in linen and the <a href="http://www.hickorychair.com/product_detail.aspx?i=4395">Normandy chest </a>finished in Rustic French Grey paint with the Oxford finished top.

The designer, Ron Fiore, created both rooms with very different thoughts in mind when he began the process. If you notice, he actually used the same <a href="http://www.hickorychair.com/product_detail.aspx?i=3181">bergere</a> and ottoman in the two rooms. The way they were used was very different. Recently Ron spoke to a group at a recent HCC University and suggested that "When you pick pieces with 'great bones' they always work. Think about a navy blue blazer - you can dress it up or dress it down. You can do almost anything to pieces with great bones with finish, fabric, leather, trim or hardware. You can use them over and over and they always look great."</div><div></div><div></div>Laura Hollandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00951930380816906363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5798763276689512794.post-45983942866287169042009-09-23T08:41:00.000-04:002009-09-23T09:28:12.953-04:00Getting Better With Time...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx1oB3OYpFeCIiE0WPGOt1x_eRXPBH0QuKuE32CqazJWX1F-5w_ViAgFvZaWzS0m365EeTL-oZsCadbQWUjNOVfzfudJuopBV8eEfJwaAGsWGe4ek-7TiE5F7H4dnS8RKvSiW6XjLVT74J/s1600-h/Craigslist+054+865+dining+chairs.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384642667991329010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx1oB3OYpFeCIiE0WPGOt1x_eRXPBH0QuKuE32CqazJWX1F-5w_ViAgFvZaWzS0m365EeTL-oZsCadbQWUjNOVfzfudJuopBV8eEfJwaAGsWGe4ek-7TiE5F7H4dnS8RKvSiW6XjLVT74J/s400/Craigslist+054+865+dining+chairs.jpg" /></a> <span style="font-size:180%;">T</span>his week a lady contacted me through our blog.

She would love to add two more side chairs to her set.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">W</span>hen contacting <a href="http://www.hickorychair.com/">Hickory Chair</a> she learned that we retired this style about 10 years ago.

I have great hope that we can help her finish out her set!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">W</span>hy am I so confident? If you go to Craig's List or Ebay and type in Hickory Chair you would be amazed with how many pieces are available for sale. The quality of craftsmanship allow the pieces to live several lives... I have a piece my Grandmother purchased in the late 1930's from Hickory Chair as well as a full size bed. I am proud of my heirloom Hickory Chair pieces. I am confident that the pieces I have purchased from the company will be able to furnish my grandchildren's homes someday too!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">D</span>o you have a story to share?
