In the tradition of his great, great grandfather, Michael Thomas Maxwell founded M.T. Maxwell Furniture Company, in Bedford, Virginia. The company was formed with a commitment to creating high-quality, affordable furniture that will endure for generations.

After a decade of designing and hand-crafting award-winning furniture in New York, Philadelphia and Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Michael has come full circle by returning, together with a skilled team of artists and craftsmen, to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Elegant, with a classic style, M.T. Maxwell furniture is as functional as it is beautiful. Extreme attention to detail, great care, and the finest woods are chosen to produce each piece. The beautiful wood grain and rich color of American cherry, along with black walnut accents are the signature of our furniture.
