Moderately priced, transitional-style furniture

Habersham unveiled the newest additions to its American Treasures collection of copyrighted designs at this month's High Point Market. Offering a distinctly different look from the high-end company’s well-established, richly detailed furniture offerings, pieces in this new collection feature clean, simple design lines and transitional styling at moderate price points.

"With American Treasures, our design team has paid tribute to the American-made styles and influences that helped shape our company by reinterpreting them to create wonderful transitional designs,” says Habersham president Matt Eddy.

He said the simpler styles and finishes in the American Treasures collection, combined with recent factory innovations and improvements, have allowed the company "to offer the new hand-styled pieces at moderate price points -- without sacrificing the quality and handwork that are the company’s hallmarks."

Concave Gustavian Console

Modern History introduced dozens of furnishings for the living room, dining room, bedroom and home office at the October 2010 High Point Furniture Market. The company added to its selection of weathered and driftwood inspired furnishings. An ornately carved Tuscan-style bed debuts in this popular finish, which was first introduced a year ago. The driftwood look is achieved by bleaching and sandblasting each piece before applying a wash that highlights the heavily textured finish.
Following on the introduction last market of its Drapers table, the company came out with a smaller version of the console (below). The table, which is modeled after a French farmhouse antique, is crafted from weathered solids. A new breakfront, inspired by an Italian antique, and a curvy drawerless commode copied from a 19th century Italian piece, have similar finishes and appeal.

Moderately priced furniture from Habersham

High-end furniture maker Habersham launched a moderately priced line called American Treasures at the October 2010 High Point Furniture Market. The new collection features case goods and occasional designs at moderate price points. The initial American Treasures launch includes 20 pieces ranging from curios, bookcases, armoires and occasional tables to sideboards, chests, media cabinets, dining and bedroom designs. Made in America, the new pieces take their inspiration from classic styles that have been updated and simplified.

The company says this furniture is scaled for the average-sized home. Universal Furniture introduced the collection at the High Point furniture market in October 2010.
