ABOUT ELDRED WHEELER
The Eldred Wheeler Company made handcrafted 18th century reproductions for over 45 years. Founded by Emmett Eldred and Bill Wheeler, the company was one of the first to build fine 18th century handcrafted reproductions of furniture built in the late 1700's outside major urban areas in New England. This was the first truly original American Furniture created in the colonies.
Eldred Wheeler's craftsmen used fine cherry and tiger maple boards and hand planed every surface with scrapers to replicate the patina of an original of the period. They were famous for their finish which involved many steps including application of water based stains, shellac, lacquer, and a special toner. Brass hardware was all hand-filed brass from the finest reproduction brass makers. Eldred Wheeler closed in 2019.
