Durham Furniture has been a leading North American furniture manufacturer since 1899. Today the company has a network of more than 600 retail accounts throughout the United States and Canada. Using a combination of traditional construction techniques such as mortised joints and dovetailed drawers, and modern innovations such as a fully dust-proof finish, Durham’s solid wood furniture is designed to endure.
The Architect collection is crafted from the finest North American maple and built to last for generations. The main design element, the heart-shaped scroll motif on the beds, mirrors and door pieces, was inspired by the decorative pattern Washington chose to adorn the crown molding in the central passageway of his home. Physical distressing and heavy antique brass hardware are just a few of the design elements that make this collection so special.
The Distillery Collection is crafted of solid maple in two compatible wire-brushed finishes, Trenton Grey and Whiskey. Mitered cases and bold inset beading draw the eye to drawer fronts, which are adorned with hand-driven authentic nails. Side-tapered square legs and touches of fabric appeal to modern consumers, as do casual antiqued ring pull hardware and key escutcheons. Drawers feature soft-close drawer guides, and many pieces include cedar-bottom lower drawers, as well, 4 unique bed options to choose from. This grouping is completed with a storage bench and occasional tables.
