When
you purchase a fine quality design from MacKenzie-Dow, you’ll
experience a surprisingly timeless blend of Old World heritage and
modern-day practicality.
That’s because we specialize in the craftsmanship of superb quality
17th and 18th-century European-inspired solid wood furnishings that
resonate as well today as they did years ago.
Situated in West Virginia,
our local craftsmen and women employ centuries-old woodworking and
joinery techniques to construct elegant creations that promise both
enduring value and sophisticated style.
Working with Wild Black Cherry, a species native to America’s
abundant Appalachian forests, we appreciate nature’s blemishes that do
not affect the structural integrity of our product. In fact, small
splits, knots and other natural “defects” become attributes rather than
flaws with the addition of an unparalleled finish that begs to be
touched, not to mention used in a home full of life.
Mackenzie-Dow Fine Furniture At MacKenzie-Dow, we don’t make excuses
for the ingrained characteristics of solid Appalachian Black Cherry. In
fact, we celebrate them with an incomparably soft, hard-planed finish
that lets nature do all the talking.
Inspired by the sturdy furnishings common to the 17th and 18th
century English pubs and taverns, MacKenzie-Dow’s English Pub Collection
offers designs for every room in the home. Casual, yet sophisticated,
these authentic, one-of-a-kind pieces employ age-old cabinetmaking
techniques such as planking, dovetailing, mortise and tenon, and square
peg construction.
Crafted of solid Wild Black Cherry from America’s own Appalachian
forests, the English Pub Collection is available in one of three
distinctive finishes:
* The “Wheatland” finish, a medium brown hue softened with almond-yellow undertones.
* The “Natural” finish, created without stain and, therefore, reminiscent to “blond” wood.
* The “Malt” finish, a more traditional amber shade that falls between the two.
The result is rendered even more charming by a hand-wiped, black
glazing process that “catches” in the wood’s inherent distressing,
creating an aged effect, akin to well-worn furniture. Contact Us With Your Request Or Question
