In the 1890’s, Billy Richardson started selling hickory chairs and rockers on Saturdays on the town square in Indiana. Legend has it that Richardson and his father had made hickory chairs and rockers for the President Andrew Jackson’s home, The Hermitage many years earlier.
Others studied Richardson’s products and banded together in 1892 in an abandoned church, producing hickory sapling furniture as a full-time business. They chose the name “Old Hickory” for the new company, the same nickname as the late President Jackson. When the company incorporated in 1899, a full line of wooden hotel furnishings were available for shipping across the country to homes and resorts. Old Hickory high end hotel furniture became so popular that it was going to the new National Park Lodges in the West as well as Great Camps and resorts in the Adirondack Park. The most famous installation was the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park. The original dining chairs that were shipped in 1904 are still in use today over 110 years later.
Since 1899, Old Hickory Furniture has been handcrafted in Central Indiana using the remarkable hickory sapling and other natural and sustainable resources. Old Hickory has been America’s leader in sustainable hotel furniture for many years. From iconic National Park Lodges to small private clubs and restaurants. Old Hickory has sustainable hotel furniture that are beautiful, comfortable, stylish and stand up to the most rigorous settings like ski lodges and family resorts. We work directly with hospitality designers and decision makers to ensure that each property is unique and special. Old Hickory offers high end hotel furniture designs that other companies are not capable of producing.
Old Hickory furniture is still handcrafted and made-to-order in much the same way as it was when the company first began. Attention to detail, the careful matching of parts, the assembly with mortise and tenon, and the meticulous hand weaving process. It’s the fine details that separate good quality from exceptional quality. After taking such special care during the hotel wooden furnishings building process, you should expect nothing less as the Old Hickory team prepares your special piece for delivery.
