Old Hickory Tannery

Conceived in 1972, Willard Black created Old Hickory Tannery with the intent of fashioning his furniture designs into functional works of art, using only the finest quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship, by creating pieces that feel both timeless and completely unique. Scouring back alleys, attics and flea markets in America, Europe, and all reaches of the globe for inspiration, each Old Hickory Tannery design blends enduring style with fashion-forward materials and innovative engineering to create heirlooms of the future. Individually handmade by a team of skilled American artisans, exquisite leathers and complex fabrics adorn the resilient frames of each piece for a luxurious, high-end look and comfort that is designed to be enjoyed for generations.

HEIRLOOM QUALITY & CRAFTSMANSHIP

Each piece is designed and crafted by hand by skilled American artisans in the Old Hickory Tannery’s family-owned workshop in Hickory, North Carolina.

Only the highest quality top-grain leather, from cowhide, to buffalo, to exotic crocodile are sourced for the designs. Artisanal fabric upholstery options are created for lasting style and longevity.

Hand-tied, no-sag spring support systems provide lasting comfort and stability. All upholstery is cut and sewn by hand and all nail heads hand-hammered.

Only top-grade lumber sourced from sustainable tree farms are used for the frames.

DISTINCTIVE DETAILS

From handsome leather Chesterfield sofas, dramatic Queen Anne inspired accent chairs, playful tete-a-tete silhouettes and distinguished club chairs, these designs draw inspiration from all time periods and styles and enlighten them with fresh, fabulous materials. Look closer and you will find each piece enhanced with luxuriously discriminating details, from the graceful carved wood legs and hand-applied nail head trim to the deep, button-tufted cushions and inspired choices in color and fabric. Each of these finishing touches transform the pieces into true works of art.
