Wrapped in Chenille, Full of Character, and oh so Cozy!! This is a wonderful tan chenille club chair and ottoman set by Drexel. This duo has a curve in the design that gives it a unique appearance and also makes it easy to fit them together. The back seat cushion almost looks like a big comfy seashell! They are wearing their original tan chenille fabric with welting trim around the frame of the chair and the base of the chair and ottoman, and the back and seat cushions are loose for convenient cleaning and fluffing and it also has loose arm covers. The chair has front casters, and the ottoman has four so it’s easy to relocate them from your sitting room into the living room or way down the hall into your bedroom. We LOVE this set and thought about how fun it would be to reupholster them with different, contrasting, or bright colors… it would really give it an awesome Post-Modern vibe. Fall into it. Curl up in it. Put your feet up. Relax.
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.
A gorgeous club chair and ottoman set like this is just too fantastic to let go… And it’s by Drexel, you can’t go wrong! Make it yours!!
