Birds of a feather are flocking together on these barrels and barrels of beautiful seating!! WOW!! This is an awesome pair of vintage modern barrel chairs by Drexel Heritage fully upholstered wearing their original fabric adorned with mauve, brownish green, darker green, and blue contemporary birds designed on a beige background, a loose T seat cushion, and a swivel option!! At first we just thought the fabric was adorned with wonderful contemporary designs, BUT upon closer admiration of this lovely fabric, we were pleasantly surprised to discover charming designs of pheasants, peacocks, or birds of paradise camouflaged throughout the stunning upholstery… it’s full of FABULOUS FOWL!!! They’re just wonderful!! The chairs are going to be marvelous in the living room across from the sofa, in the sitting room with an accent table in between, or in the family room across from the fireplace. They are modern but will blend in beautifully with many design styles making them very versatile to move from room to room. They are comfortable, fashionable, they swivel, and they’re made by Drexel Heritage, so you can’t go wrong!!
Drexel Furniture Company was founded in 1903 in Drexel, North Carolina by six businessmen for a total investment of $14,000.00. Sam Huffman, one of the initial founders, managed the enterprise until his death in 1935 when his son, Robert O. Huffman took the helm. By 1950 under the younger Huffman’s leadership Drexel had grown from a small factory to a leader in furniture manufacturing. They acquired other furniture companies along the way and by the late 1950s employed 2300 workers. The 1960s had them adding industrial and hospitality furniture to their lines. In 1968 they were purchased, and Drexel Enterprises became Drexel Heritage Furnishings, Inc. They continued to add to their styles and lines and were sold again and then in 1986 became part of Masco Corporation one of the country’s largest furniture manufacturers. They are now based in High Point, NC and operate ten factories in North Carolina and one in South Carolina and are one of the leading furniture manufacturers in the world.
