Biltmore Collection

I thought today I'd share a little of the furniture that I'm around all day at my new

job in design/sales at Drexel Heritage/Henredon/Thomasville here in Oklahoma City.

That table above folds out, so when not in use 

it can be a narrow sofa table or be placed against the wall if needed.

 I adore that china cabinet too. Love the legs on it.

Just showing a little from one of the collections were carry -

The Biltmore Collection from Fine Furniture Design.

http://www.biltmorefinefurniture.com/

This collection is based on the furniture owned by Vanderbilt family.

They were world travelers and collectors so you can imagine the inspiration their belongings provide.

Some of the pieces in the collection are inspired by antique pieces at the Vanderbilt Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. 

Some are inspired by the architecture and gardens of the estate and some by possessions they had in their Paris apartment.

I always meant to go visit this magnificent estate when I lived in Georgia but I never got around to it. 

Shame on me.

 The estate looks to be out of a fairy tale and I suppose it was.
Have you been there? I know several who have gone on the tour and always come away affected.

 This little buffet was inspired by the gardens of Biltmore Estate.

 A lovely french inspired bed.

 This bed is truly meant for a queen. This queen! As in me!
I can just imagine Violet snoozing here.

 All the furniture is hand finished. Nice distressing on this piece.

 I have to say...I am loving selling furniture that I know is of fine quality.
Furniture that will stand the test of time.

 Isn't this a sweet little center hall table?

Barley twist anyone? My Mom would like this piece. I can totally see this in her house.

 
This piece appears to be a large armoire and it is....

 but it opens to reveal a highly appointed bar.

I'll share other lines of furniture at my store in the near furniture.
