Baker Furniture means style. Not content to be part of any moment, Baker Furniture represent innovation through good product design, materials solid craftsmanship and finish.
It all began with a Dutchman named Siebe Baker who liked to work with his hands. With the success of his furniture craft, his son Hollis, obtained an education and traveled studying the art of good design. And good design is what is at the heart of all fine furniture. Baker Furniture has more period, style and international influences than any other furniture manufacturer. Whether period reproduction or an original from a celebrated designer like Charles Pfister or T. H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, every piece is clearly from Baker Furniture. With such careful attention to detail including scale, proportion and detail, Baker Furniture creates a sense of timelessness and artistry with each piece. Since the early days of Siebe Baker’s cabinet making, Baker Furniture continues to hand select all the materials that go into their furniture pieces. Through this selection process, Baker Furniture brings both beauty and durability to their furniture with the selection of fine wood and veneers from around the world. This process produces wood furniture that is superior in form and function. Baker Furniture remains the “cradle of skills elsewhere forgotten.” Baker Furniture’s artisans and skilled craftsman utilize hand carving, a form of sculpting, and hand planing on all their wood furniture. Incorporating in inlay and marquetry to showcase the surrounding wood, Baker Furniture continues to keep alive this 18th century art. Veneering, which dates back to the Egyptians, is still central to the manufacture of fine wood furniture. Veneering allows for the use of very expensive and unpredictable woods to be used in the making of fine wood furniture through a durable application. The only limitations are those of the imagination of the furniture maker. Baker Furniture finishes are applied using hand coloring and a small pad and brush. Each layer is applied until the Finisher is satisfied with the color and look of the piece. It is this level of artistry that makes Baker Furniture what it is today, old world masters in the manufacture of fine wood furniture.
