Abstract:

The Hickory Chair Company, formerly the Surry Chair Company, relocated to Hickory in 1911. The company's creations include a broad selection of traditional chairs, upholstery, tables, case furniture, and accent pieces with special emphasis on 18th-century designs. One of Hickory Chair's most significant marketing decisions was the introduction of the 'James River Collection' in 1961.
