Contrasting colors in wood veneer work allows you to blend multiple types of furniture together in a room. For example the light and dark combination that is featured on this Maitland-Smith bookcase will help allow you to put furniture with lighter complexions like some maple woods with darker woods, like walnut and mahogany, together in the same room.

Maitland-Smith furniture is renowned for its fine veneer work. The pieces are beautiful if featured alone, but they also work very well together in a room with other pieces which is why we love this particular piece.

This beautiful bookcase is available for sale in our Chestnut Hill Furniture Consignment showroom for $1,440. There are many other high end pieces of furniture in our stores featuring beautiful veneer work with contrasting woods and colors.

uimg 2554Now there is an idea: a wine cabinet with a door, that locks with a key! That is certainly one way to ensure that your teenagers and their incorrigible friends can only look, but not touch or open.
This is not any wine bottle cabinet as it is a true piece of fine furniture by Maitland-Smith. this cabinet dresses up and adds elegance to a kitchen or dining area. This piece is well accented with many flavors of woods and hand crafted veneer work. It has walnut, mahogany, satin and some tulipwoods and the brass gallery along the top adds a very nice touch as well. The brass mesh door opens to showcase 20 bottles of wine. Even the cheap uimg 2562bottles will look good when they are extracted from this beauty! For $899, this wine cabinet is an excellent price. It can be found in our Hanover inventory and is item number 2600-2.

Maitland-Smith Sheraton Pembroke Table - Piece of the Week

Posted by Jay Frucci on Sat, February 26, 2011 @ 07: 22 AM

We are fortuanet to have a Maitland-Smith Sheraton Style Mahogany Pembroke End Table in our showroom.  It is item number 2164-2 in our inventory and is priced at $1,999. This piece takes the spotlight this week because of the beautiful veneer work. Maitland-Smith's furniture makers are more than craftsmen.  They are true artisans creating pieces that are more like artwork than furniture. This particular piece features hand-stenciled, and hand-drawn art on the surface. The stenciling blends in beautifully with the walnut, satin and ebonized mahogany veneers. In addition to the amazing veneer work, Maitland-Smith's drawer construction is not the typical dovetail and is instead similare to a tongue and groove.  The tongue and groove construction is structurally very sound. Maitland-Smith has one of the most complete selections of reproduction end tables in the marketplace, but we really like this one because it is very detailed and is subtle with its design, yet it is very striking. Other maufacturers who do a wonderful job with their end tables are Kindel Furniture and Kittinger Furniture. We have placed this beautiful piece of furniture art in the center of our showroom and customers are unable to walk past it without an "ooh" or an "ahhh".
