Since our founding in 1994, we’ve perfected the art of translating traditional design principles into custom furnishings that complement contemporary living spaces throughout Scottsdale, AZ and surrounding areas. Traditional furniture encompasses various historical periods including Queen Anne, Chippendale, Victorian, and Colonial styles, each bringing distinctive characteristics that we carefully incorporate into our custom designs. Our experienced craftsmen understand the nuanced differences between these substyles, from the graceful cabriole legs of Queen Anne pieces to the elaborate carvings characteristic of Victorian furniture.
Crafting Traditional Pieces with Modern Precision
The creation of traditional custom furniture requires mastery of specialized techniques that have been refined over generations. Our showroom offers the results of experienced craftsmen, integrity of materials, and attention to detail that brings these classic designs to life. We employ traditional joinery methods such as mortise and tenon, dovetail joints, and hand-carved details that ensure both structural integrity and aesthetic authenticity. These time-honored construction methods provide superior durability compared to mass-produced alternatives, with properly crafted traditional furniture often lasting multiple generations.
Wood selection plays a crucial role in traditional furniture construction, with mahogany, cherry, walnut, and oak being the predominant choices for authentic pieces. Each wood species brings unique grain patterns and natural characteristics that enhance the furniture’s visual appeal. Our craftsmen carefully select lumber based on grain consistency, color matching, and structural requirements specific to each design. The finishing process involves multiple stages of staining, sealing, and hand-rubbing to achieve the deep, lustrous patinas associated with fine traditional furniture.
