Today your friends at Walter E. Smithe would like to highlight one of our favorite collections – the Henredon Collection. Here’s a few things you should know:

• Henredon was founded in Morganton, North Carolina in 1945 by four men determined to build furniture of custom quality.
• The initial product line consisted of just three chests, but the line has since expaned into hundreds of beautiful wood and upholstery designs for every room.
• While new manufacturing techniques are used you will still find that there is a considerable amount of hand and detail work performed on each piece. In these days of mass production a Henredon item will truly be unique.
• Henredon has always taken a leadership role in designing and manufacturing some of the finest furnishings available.
• Our success is based on the talent and effort of the individuals that work for Henredon.
• Today, among people of discriminating taste, the name Henredon represents the best.

Here at Walter E. Smithe, we are proud to offer many fine pieces from Henredon, including home office, living room, dining room, or bedroom furniture.

Here’s a look at a few of the pieces we are proud to offer at Walter E. Smithe:

• San Remo Dining Table
