Pencil Post Bed

The canopy can be traced back to Byzantine and Medieval furniture when it served as an emblem and privilege of social station. In any household, only the ranking member's
bed received a full canopy. During the era of Renaissance furniture, use of the canopy became less exclusive. When the design became popular in the American colonies, the
canopy bed had become valued primarily for its ability to conserve warmth and provide privacy. Like our Poster Bed, the Pencil Post Bed is available with three different types of headboard.

Shaving Stand

By combining features of a wash stand with that of a chest of drawers, our Shaving Stand exhibits the Victorian era's fondness for furniture that serves multiple purposes. Originally designed to be an exclusively masculine piece of furniture, more contemporary applications include using it as a vanity where jewelry, cosmetics and other personal items can be easily stored.

Virginia Cupboard

Built to display and protect a family's china and other fine tableware, the Virginia Cupboard features two tall, enclosed shelves large enough to hold 16" plates. Lights and glass inserts highlight its contents. The three drawer, two door base adds additional, protective storage space. The entire piece stands on four solid post legs that we mortise and tenon together in the tradition of
cabinetmakers past.

Tom Seely Furniture is hand built by individual craftsman out of solid wood. Because our furniture is not mass-produced on assembly lines, you can choose from a wide variety of stylistic options to customize it to your liking. Most items can be constructed out of pine, oak or cherry and finished with one of twelve different stains. The use of veneer or particleboard is never employed in construction. We utilize joinery techniques that were the standard of quality cabinetmaking centuries ago, before mass production became the norm, lending superior strength to all of our furniture's construction. Seely’s Furniture uses techniques such as "mortise- and-tenon joints" and "shiplapped", a traditional technique of overlapping boards, which allows the wood to expand and contract. We build our furniture so it will last for generations.
