Few periods in history have produced such timeless furniture designs as the 18th century. To this day, many of that era’s styles, including Chippendale and Queen Anne, are among the most sought after by discerning furniture buyers around the world. It’s no surprise, then, that Froelich has built its collections around popular 18th-century designs.

From its home base in Highpoint, North Carolina, Froelich has created an extraordinary collection of museum-quality furnishings and accessories. The Partner’s Choice collection, for example, has been reproduced from original drawings. Featured in this elegant selection of Froelich pieces are delicately carved four-poster beds, pie crust tables, Chippendale settees, fretback side chairs and armchairs, writing tables, chests and cocktail tables and a range of accessories, such as butler’s trays and hanging shelves.

Each piece is crafted from Cuban and Dominican Seed Mahogany. Each is carefully carved, sanded, polished and finished by hand to coax forth the natural glow and grain of the wood. Why those particular varieties of mahogany? Simple: they are hard, closely-grained mahoganies, and they most closely resemble the wood used by 18th-century cabinet makers.
