Habersham

Biltmore ® is known as much for its grandeur as for its spirit of gracious hospitality. Pieces in our licensed Biltmore ® Chateau Reserve Collection of copyrighted furniture designs draw their inspiration from the entertainment and hospitality that defined the landmark Asheville, NC estate at the turn of the century. We just received our copy of the Fall/Winter Biltmore Style catalog and wanted to share some of the beautifully photographed pages with you.

The Habersham Valencia Table, shown here, reflects the architectural elements found throughout the home. The table’s base provides the perfect foundation for the smooth spacious top, which is available in a range of sizes, including 72” (shown), 48”, 54”, 60” and 84”.

When you invest in a Habersham kitchen – you’re investing in a custom creation designed around your tastes, styles and lifestyle needs – right down to the corbels.  Our design team pays meticulous attention to detail, to make sure that every inch of your new kitchen meets your expectations.

Corbels, in particular, help provide the perfect finishing touch. As fabulous as they are functional, the corbel has a rich history.  A quick visit to Wikipedia and we learn that , “the word “corbel” comes from  Old French and derives from the Latin  corbellus, a diminutive of corvus (a raven), which refers to the beak-like appearance. Similarly, the French refer to a bracket-corbel, usually a load-bearing internal feature, as corbeau (a crow).

In architecture, a corbel is a piece of stone jutting out of a wall to carry any overhanging  weight. A piece of timber projecting in the same way was called a “tassel” or a “bragger.’  The corbels carrying balconies in Italy and France were sometimes of great size and richly carved, and some of the finest examples of the Italian “Cinquecento” (16th century) style are found in them. Taking a cue from 16th-century practice, the Paris-trained designers of 19th-century Beaux-Arts architecture were encouraged to show imagination in varying corbels.”

We’ve looked to a number of these stunning architectural styles to find the inspiration for the wide variety of corbel designs we offer.  Contact us today to find out how we can help bring a touch of simple elegance to your kitchen environment.

Fall High Point Market is a few months away but our design team is already hard at work fine-tuning the newest additions to our growing American Treasures® Collection.    We first launched this collection of copyrighted furniture designs during the Fall 2010 market and have been adding to it ever since.

Dealers, designers and their clients have responded quite favorably to the collection, which takes it inspiration from classic styles that have been updated and simplified — creating versatile looks, timeless styles and clean, simple lines that are at home in traditional or contemporary settings.

We think everyone will be quite pleased with our newest additions and we’ll be posting some sneak previews of them soon.  In the meantime, if you haven’t seen them yet, be sure to visit our site to see the new designs that joined the collection in April 2011.

This month, our website “Featured Product” is the new American Treasures ® Fairmont Chest.  One of many copyrighted furniture designs in our new American Treasures collection, this design offers a perfect blend of simple elegance and style.

Fourteen drawers provide plentiful storage space for linens, tableware and other items. And, simple design lines and a soft, hand-styled finish create a casually elegant accent.

Like all pieces in the collection, the Fairmont Chest is at home in traditional estate design and modern retreats alike.

What’s more, all the transitional designs in the American Treasures ® collection  are available in a full range of hand-styled finishes so you can create a look that perfectly reflects your own sense of style.  Visit our site to see other great new styles.

Circular motifs offer an ideal way to add a touch of movement and flow to a room.  This geometric style also lends a lovely accent that’s subtle enough to blend seamlessly into a transitional or contemporary décor.

Our design team has come “full circle” by adding this motif to pieces in our American Treasures™ collection of copyrighted furniture designs.  With this collection, they’ve paid tribute to the American-made styles and influences that helped shape our company by reinterpreting them to create wonderful looks and styles that truly blend seamlessly into any décor.

Among the new designs are many that include a circle motif or pattern.  From chests to sideboards, these new styles promise to add a fresh new look to any décor.  To see more of our new American Treasures designs, be sure to visit our website.

We were delighted to see our American Treasures ® Chelsea Sideboard /Sofa Table featured in  Home Accents Today magazine’s June 2011 issue Market Trend Report.    Identifying the trend, “Modern Mediterranean,” Senior Product Editor Tracy Bulla included our design among others that “infuse a little Spanish-style magic with lush, exotic motifs, wrought iron and dark woods, all in a spicy hot palette.”

This design is among the newest to join our American Treasures ® Collection of copyrighted furniture designs.  Making its debut in April, the Chelsea Sideboard, like other pieces  in the growing collection, takes its inspiration from  classic styles that have been updated  to create unique  looks that blend into any home décor  – be it formal, casual, contemporary or traditional.
