Each piece of Heritage Furniture is handcrafted in a purpose built workshop adjoining our Invercargill showroom by our small team of craftsmen, from start to finish.
We use traditional methods. That means drawers are dovetailed and hand fitted to each cavity and joints are dowelled and glued with the utmost attention to detail, which makes our range of furniture strong and robust for every day family living. We finish each piece by hand to give our furniture the kind of workmanship that sets it apart.
At Heritage Furniture we pride ourselves on maintaining traditional solid timber furniture making techniques. Our quality construction and hand-finishing details means Heritage Furniture is built to last for future generations. We believe furniture should stand the test of time, both in design, appearance and quality.
Our Timber
We buy in the best kiln-dried New Zealand and imported timbers we can source. The traditional techniques we use to make our handcrafted furniture also ensure the minimum adverse effects from seasonal movement. As a natural material there is a large variation in grain and colour so we hand match timber to give the best appearance to the finished pieces.
Aged Furniture Look
After construction each surface area is hand planed many times to achieve a softened aged look. Layers of furniture stain are then applied to build up to a rich luminous colour. Once dried the timber is finished either in hard wearing lacquers or waxed finishes - perfect for the demands of modern day living.
Responsibly Forested Timber
Solid oak timber is used for its good looks, hardness and durability. The timber is sustainably grown and harvested in the United States. The trees are pruned regularly to ensure regular grain patterns and fewer knots, ensuring exceptionally strong timber of the utmost quality.
Southland Beech timber is sustainably managed and environmentally certified by the forestry stewardship council (FSC) and comes from the south west coast of New Zealand.
