The Southwood Story: Southwood was founded in 1973 with the vision to become America's premier maker of authentic, museum-quality antique reproductions as well as a wide offering of traditional upholstered seating. This commitment for quality led to licensee agreements with important museum collections. Southwood believes that quality and craftsmanship can best be fostered in the intimacy of a small, personal "family company". The key ingredient in every piece is still the talent and skill of the individual who creates it. And Southwood is especially enriched with some of the furniture industry's most experienced craftsmen. Many are second-, third-, or fourth-generation furniture makers. These are people who care. People who take pride in their profession. Southwood demonstrates that "Excellence Still Exists".
Southwood began 25 years ago to specialize in the reproduction of antique furniture. This discipline led to innovative construction techniques resulting in a break-through for seating comfort with historic designs while maintaining the integrity of the spirit and form of the originals.
The Southwood execution of authentic reproductions has set a new standard. Each piece is carefully researched and then meticulously recreated with all the little details that separate fine furniture from the ordinary. Details like single welt trim that matches with the fabric, like wood inlays normally seen only on wood pieces, like a 23-step mahogany finish that is repeatedly hand-rubbed until the true depth and character of the wood is achieved.
Southwood wing chairs achieve a comfort level never dreamed of by our forefathers by employing a unique back construction technique while maintaining the spirit and form of the original. The Southwood standard cushion construction includes 40% down and 60% feathers around a Marshall spring unit that allows you to sit in rather than on the seat and retains its shape when you get up.
