Fine American Furniture - A Toast to Sherrill

Sherrill Chairs in Goldenrod Toile

In my search for fine heirloom-quality upholstered pieces worthy of refurbishing costs, a short-cut method I use is to look for certain labels that always convey quality and superior workmanship - even today!   One of the labels I look for and often find is Sherrill.  Lately, I have found lots of Sherrill pieces - mostly club and wingback chairs - and have quite a few in my "before" and "after" inventory.   I have also been working with custom clients who have specified Sherrill or comparable quality for their pieces.

Since 1944, Sherrill Furniture Company and its divisions have supplied custom home furnishings to Major Furniture Stores and Major Department Stores throughout the United States and Canada.  All of our factories are located in the Hickory, North Carolina area.

The mission still continues. We are very proud to present Sherrill Furniture Company products to you for your home.

The Sherrill website is very informative Sherrill.  I love the site's demonstration of hand-tied 8-way coil springs as they are installed and secured inside of the seat frame of a chair.  Hand-tied coil springs are a quality factor I look for in all the pieces I buy and use it to gauge overall quality if the label is missing.  The coils add so much to the long-term comfort and stability to a fine piece of upholstered furniture.  Sherrill pieces all have the coil springs as a standard construction feature.

Here are some of my refurbished Sherrill pieces.
