In 1818, Lambert Hitchcock established a factory in Barkhamsted, Connecticut, a town that would later be renamed to Hitchcocksville in his honor. That town is now known as Riverton but in 1825, the factory was booming. The company was primarily known for “fancy chairs” with stenciled signatures on the back seat rail known for the reversed N’s. Lambert moved production to Unionville in 1844 before his death in 1852, and the original factory eventually ceased chair production in 1864. The business suffered financial struggles and went into receivership in 1932 and was discovered by John Terrant Kenney in 1946. He revived the company into Hitchcock Chair Co. in the original location where they produced high quality reproductions until it closed its doors in 2006. Since 2010, the brand has been under ownership of Gary Hath and Rick Swenson who continue to manufacture chairs in Connecticut and continues to trade as The Hitchcock Chair Co., LTD. located in Riverton, Conn.

Quality manufacturer, iconic reputation, and a classic style with a timeless presence you are sure to love for years to come! This set of 4 Windsor Hitchcock maple side or dining chairs checks ALL the boxes!!! What are you waiting for? Make them YOURS!!!!
