Pieces in our  licensed Biltmore ® Chateau Reserve Collection reflect the hospitality and gracious living that defined the acclaimed Asheville, NC estate at the turn of the century.  During the recent Fall High Point Furniture Market we added some new pieces to the collection, including the Louis XV Armoire, shown here.

This particular copyrighted furniture design takes its inspiration from the many pieces and architectural elements found throughout the estate’s lovely  Louis XV Suite.  Restored to its original splendor, this suite offers visitors the first opportunity to fully see the house as a family home and the Vanderbilts as parents. The Louis XV Room itself is perhaps the true heart of Biltmore. It served as birthplace of George and Edith Vanderbilt’s only daughter, Cornelia, in 1900. Years later, it was where Cornelia delivered her own two sons, George Henry Vanderbilt Cecil and William Amherst Vanderbilt Cecil in 1925 and 1928, respectively.  To learn more about this amazing home , be sure to visit www.biltmore.com

There is always an ebb and flow to design.  Traditional is in one moment, contemporary the next. Right now, we’re seeing a juxtaposition of sorts.  Traditional looks will always endure but  as you flip through the pages of today’s shelter magazines, it seems that the retro, contemporary, modern looks are really coming on strong.

With our new American Treasures ® Collection of copyrighted furniture designs, we’ve worked to strike a transitional cord with simpler lines and cleaner looks that can blend into traditional and contemporary settings alike.

Among the pieces that made its debut during the October High Point Furniture Market is the Loft Bookcase, shown here. I like to collect interior and design magazines, which I often use as reference materials.  So  in addition to providing a nice showpiece for accents and books, I sized the shelves so that they could  provide the perfect space for these types of magazines too.   We’ll be posting some more of our new American Treasures ® pieces here soon so check back regularly.

During the recent Fall High Point Market , we unveiled a number of new copyrighted furniture designs that now join our American Treasures ® Collection.  Following in the footsteps of the other pieces in the collection, these new additions represent our  response to growing demand from many of our  interior design and homeowner clients who are seeking transitional furniture designs with simpler lines and cleaner styles.  These pieces take their inspiration from classic styles that have been updated and simplified.

One of the most popular new introductions, the seven-drawer Apothecary Chest offers a delightful accent option.  We chose to show three separate chests lined up together in our showroom to highlight the piece’s versatility.  As with all designs in the collection, this chest is available in any of our hand-styled finish options.  It is also offered   in a 6-drawer style.  We’ll be showcasing more of our new intros in upcoming posts so look for more information coming soon.

Making its debut during the recent Fall High Point Market, our new American Treasures® Estate Dining table  design got quite a bit of attention for its clever storage solution.    As shown here, individual shelves under the tabletop act like cubbies providing the ideal storage areas for place settings, tableware and linens.

A study in simplicity and style, this was just one of the many new additions to Habersham’s  growing American Treasures ® Collection of copyrighted furniture designs.  Available in any of our hand styled finish options, this piece promises to blend seamlessly into any setting.

From trade and shelter magazines  to antiques and architecture, I’m always looking for sources of inspiration for our newest designs.  One resource that never fails to deliver is Biltmore® Estate.  As Habersham is a licensee,   I look to the art, architecture, history and hospitality that defined this landmark Asheville, NC estate at the turn of the century to find my inspiration for the  pieces  I create for our Biltmore ® Chateau Reserve Collection .

One of the new designs we introduced during the recent October 2011 High Point Market is the Biltmore ® Sideboard, shown here.    For this particular copyrighted furniture design, I chose to reflect some of the styles and design lines found on a number of pieces found in the home’s Sheraton Room  on the second floor.

If you haven’t been to Biltmore ® yet, I encourage you to do so –especially as we head into the holiday season as it’s particularly lovely this time of year.  To learn more, visit www.biltmore.com

Our new American Treasures ® Florence Bookcase is a study in simplicity and style.  Reflecting a hint of Italian architectural elements and styling, this piece can bring a refreshing accent to any room style.  And, adjustable shelves and a bottom drawer provide handy display and storage space.

This is just one of a number of other copyrighted furniture designs that made their debut last month during the High Point Market.   We’ll be posting some of our other new designs in upcoming weeks so check back soon.

Last week I showed you one of our most popular new introductions, the seven-drawer Apothecary Chest.   I also thought you’d like to see the 6-drawer version, shown here.    As with all designs in the collection, this chest is available in any of our hand-styled finish options.  Be sure to explore our site to see other American Treasures® pieces.
