Founded in 1927 by Walter Zirkle, Sr., Virginia Craftsmen, Inc., manufactures and retailed high-quality antique reproduction furniture. Each Virginia Craftsmen antique reproduction is crafted by hand. The artisans work from carefully preserved and irreplaceable original patterns, as well as precise drawings of the actual historic pieces. Only the finest solid, kiln-dried hardwoods- primarily cherry, walnut and mahogany-are used. Where historical style dictates, the finest crotched veneers are used. All inlays are hardwood, no plastics or softwoods. Virginia Craftsmen employs traditional techniques to assure complete authenticity. The dovetail and mortise and tenon are our basic forms of joinery. The turnings are done on a lathe with hand-held chisels that cut sharper detail than automatic machine production. The satin smooth finishes are the result of countless hours of hand rubbing. The glass panes in the cabinets are individually set, and all cabinet backs are made of solid wood… completely finished on both sides. Even in places most people would not examine-like the backs and undersides of drawers- all surfaces are completely finished, with the most meticulous detail carefully rendered.
