A great deal of furniture is assembled far away from where it is sold. Some of the best still is not. This collection gathers the pieces Seldens carries that are American Craftsmanship, from workshops that have been at it for generations, including Stickley, Flexsteel, Bernhardt, Rowe, Precedent and American Leather.

What Domestic Manufacturing Buys You

Shorter supply chains, for one, which means a custom order arrives in weeks rather than seasons. Beyond that it is construction. Kiln dried domestic hardwood frames, eight way hand tied springs, joinery that is cut rather than stapled, and finishes applied in layers. These are the details that decide whether a sofa is still comfortable in fifteen years or sagging in three.

Where to Start

For case goods, Stickley has been building in New York since 1900 and their Mission and Walnut Grove collections are the reference point. For upholstery, look at sofas and accent chairs where frame construction shows up in how the piece sits. Much of it is on display in our showrooms.
