Eldred Wheeler

Informations générales

Eldred Wheeler is the fulfillment of a desire to create fine furniture in the same manner as early American cabinet makers.

Our own interest in colonial American furniture, coupled with the limited number of antique originals, prompted us to find a way to build authentic pieces.

Each Eldred Wheeler edition is created by hand and maintains the same traditions as 18th Century craftsmen in the areas of design, materials, joinery (no glue), carving and finishing. We select wide boards of cherry, maple and tiger maple for hand-planing and scraping. Then, classic 18th Century joinery techniques are used to assemble each design. Our finishing is done by hand using time-tested formulas.

We believe that the end result is unique furniture which elicits the same excitement produced by comparable antiques. We are very proud of our work and truly enjoy creating furniture for people who appreciate 18th Century American antiques and wish to own selected pieces in the style and workmanship of earlier craftsmen.
