Heirloom Furniture

This piece is a Chinese inspired work crafted for Mark and Lavonne Shermyer of SAA Architects in York, PA.

While not 100% traditional, it’s easy to see the Asian influence in the cabinet and Tansu step chest. All of the door fixtures were specially imported from China to stay loyal to the cultural theme. The wood, black walnut, is one of the more coveted types for furniture use. The particular lumber used in this piece is just over twenty-five years old; Matt is proud of the fact that he got it from an “old man who has been doing this for longer than we’ve been alive.”
