“Restoring the lost art of making furniture well”: That was the mission of handmade American furniture company Thos. Moser when it was founded 50 years ago. Since then, the company’s skilled artisans have used sustainable American hardwoods, traditional joinery, and fine craftsmanship to create clean-lined, unadorned furnishings in their workshop in Auburn, Maine. A Thos. Moser piece—from the classic Continuous Arm Chair to hand-carved stools, beds, and benches—celebrates the natural beauty of wood, embraces simplicity of form, and is guaranteed, they say, “for a long and useful life.”
This month we’re joining with Thos. Moser to give away $1,000: One winner will receive a gift card to use towards the company’s American-made heirlooms. Enter here by midnight EST on September 19th for a chance to win. UPDATE: Congratulations to Pat L. of Missouri who is our winner! Read about all our past winners and sweepstakes.
And in the meantime, take a look at some iconic Thos. Moser pieces in situ:
Above: Thos. Moser’s Lolling Chair (at left, from $3,750) and Three-Place Wing Sofa (at right, from $8,900) anchor this airy living area. The company emphasizes comfort and livability in even their most streamlined, statement-making furniture: The reclining Lolling chair, for example, is designed to emulate the curve of the body, and the Wing Sofa is a modernized take on an 18th-century Queen Anne chair, with hand-finished, solid wood arms and back and generous upholstered cushions. At the center is the Lolling Coffee Table (from $1,795). Above: The stately Dr. White’s Chest (from $11,950) makes an appearance in the main bedroom of a project by designer Emily Henderson in Portland, Oregon. Named for the client who first commissioned it over three decades ago, the bedroom cabinet is made to order from sustainably harvested walnut or cherry and fitted together with fine joinery—a combination of dovetail, miter, rabbet, lap, and butt joints—making it the single most demanding piece for the team to create, the company says. Above: A pair of Eastward Side Chairs (from $975 each)—inspired by beauty in utility—hang from a peg rail. Above: And among the bedroom offerings is the minimalist Edo Platform Bed (from $7,200), made to order in cherry or walnut, with a headboard designed for comfortable bedtime reading.
Enter to win here, and head here for the full terms and conditions. You can browse more of Thos. Moser’s offerings via the online shop; follow the company on Instagram via @thosmoser.
