Broyhill Premier Furniture Collection | Classic American Craftsmanship

Premier collections feature elevated construction techniques and materials compared to our standard lines. You’ll find solid hardwood frames rather than engineered wood, furniture-grade veneers with more dramatic grain patterns, and hand-applied finishes with additional rubbing steps that create depth and luster.

Premier pieces also include upgraded hardware—solid brass rather than plated steel—and enhanced joinery details like French dovetails on drawer fronts in addition to English dovetails on sides. The styling tends toward more formal traditional designs with greater ornamental detail. These elements combine to create furniture built to heirloom standards designed for multi-generational use.

Yes, Premier collections coordinate beautifully when chosen thoughtfully. We designed collections like Attic Heirlooms and Fontana with complementary wood tones and compatible style periods, allowing you to mix pieces from different lines while maintaining a cohesive look.

The key is matching undertones—oak-based collections work well together, while cherry pieces complement other warm-toned woods. Consider the level of ornamentation as well—pair simpler Attic Heirlooms pieces with the more detailed Fontana collection by letting one serve as the focal point. Many customers successfully combine a Fontana china cabinet with Attic Heirlooms dining table and chairs, for example.

Maintain your Premier furniture’s hand-rubbed finish with regular dusting using a soft, dry microfiber cloth, always working in the direction of the wood grain. For deeper cleaning, use a barely damp cloth followed immediately by thorough drying—never allow water to sit on the finish.

Every three to four months, apply a quality furniture polish or wax specifically formulated for wood furniture. Avoid products containing silicones, which can build up and dull the finish over time. Apply polish sparingly with a soft cloth, buff to a shine, and allow to dry completely. This routine nourishes the wood and maintains the lustrous finish that distinguishes Premier pieces.

Premier collections feature solid hardwoods selected for each line’s aesthetic and structural requirements. The Attic Heirlooms collection uses solid oak frames with oak veneers, chosen for pronounced grain patterns and traditional appeal. Fontana pieces feature cherry wood solids and veneers, prized for their smooth grain and ability to develop rich patina over time.

We use furniture-grade veneers—thin slices of solid wood—over solid hardwood cores on large flat surfaces like tabletops and cabinet doors. This construction method provides superior stability compared to solid wood alone, preventing warping and cracking while showcasing premium grain patterns. Secondary woods like poplar or maple may be used in structural components where they won’t be visible, allowing us to reserve premium woods for surfaces you see and touch daily.

We maintain parts inventory for Premier collections including drawer glides, hardware, and key mechanisms. Replacement parts availability depends on the specific collection and how long ago it was produced, but we stock commonly needed components for all major Premier lines.

For parts inquiries, contact our customer service with your furniture’s collection name and any model or serial numbers you can locate—usually found on drawer bottoms or cabinet backs. We can identify the correct replacement parts and direct you to ordering options. For discontinued patterns where exact-match hardware isn’t available, we can often recommend suitable period-appropriate alternatives that maintain the authentic character of your furniture.

Position your Broyhill Premier furniture away from direct sunlight, which causes uneven fading and can dry out wood finishes over time. If window placement makes this challenging, use UV-filtering window treatments during peak sun hours. Rotate decorative objects periodically so any subtle color changes occur evenly across surfaces.

Maintain consistent indoor humidity between 35-45% relative humidity—use a humidifier in winter when heating systems dry indoor air, and consider a dehumidifier in humid summer months. Extreme humidity fluctuations cause wood to expand and contract, potentially leading to cracks or loose joints. Always use coasters, placemats, and trivets to protect surfaces from moisture rings and heat damage, and dust regularly to prevent particle buildup that can scratch finishes during cleaning.
