Eldred Wheeler is dedicated to carrying on the independent spirit, vitality, and work ethic of colonial cabinetmakers. Following in their footsteps in today’s mass-production oriented world is not always easy. It requires a strong commitment to create pieces of lasting value. In some cases this is accomplished by crafting a reproduction of an especially desirable antique, while in other cases it involves transposing one’s self back in time and accurately designing a piece that could have been created not only at that time but also in a particular area. When non-traditional items are needed, such as a coffee table or entertainment center, we might use bit a more design latitude. However, irrespective of the form, we remain committed to crafting pieces that would make our colonial predecessors proud.
