A sixth generation, family business, Clore Furniture was established as E.A. Clore Sons in 1830 by Moses Clore, maker of chairs, tables, chicken coops and coffins. Over the years we have added to the line (we no longer make the chicken coops or coffins) but one thing has not changed- our dedication to making an heirloom. It is then put in the kiln until a moisture level of only 6% is obtained. Thi
s low moisture level gives stability to the wood so your bed, dresser or dining table, whatever you choose, should remain strong and beautiful throughout the years. All our furniture is handcrafted from solid hardwood of cherry, walnut, mahogany or oak, with various finishes available within those woods. We understand the need to modify or create a new piece, so custom designs are a possibility, as well. Clore makes furniture for almost every room in the house but we are legendary for our incredibly sturdy chairs. All our chair styles carry a rush seat, a twisted kraft paper cord, which we lacquer after the seats are woven, for a tough, cleanable seat. This rush seat will last for 30 to 40 years, or more. Visit Clore in Madison, Virginia, where our craftsmen hand-craft chairs, tables, bedroom and dining sets and many other pieces, and you’ll be brought back in time. Wander through the showroom where you can see our customers’ most loved pieces; foot stools, rib rockers, children’s rockers, and much more! At Clore you’re not getting just quality furniture, you’re getting a story.
