Bradshaw Kirchofer Cottage Furniture


Bradshaw Kirchofer Home Furnishings is a manufacturer of painted cottage style furnishings. The collection of furniture is designed to look as though it has been around for years. Distressed, worn, antiqued. Bradshaw only uses solid wood,... from the bottom of every drawer, to the back slats on all pieces. No veneers, particleboard, fiberboard (MDF), or plywood is ever used. Never. While new, all pieces have a warm, rich, weathered feel, reflecting usage over time. All of the furnishings are hand painted, hand distressed and hand finished. The standard finishes include a wide variety of natural stained, and painted finishes.

Made by hand in the U.S.A. with solid wood and lead free paints. Furniture requires no assembly.

Customized to achieve the look you desire, mixing & matching paint finishes, knob details and extras to create the perfect piece for your home.
