As one of the premier brands in the furniture industry, Drexel Heritage is synonymous with great craftsmanship, exquisite designs and timeless style. The company started as Drexel Furniture in 1903 in Morgantown, North Carolina. Drexel subsequently grew into a very successful manufacturer with an impressive reputation as an innovative manufacturer and marketing company.  

In 1956, Drexel purchased Heritage Furniture, a company founded in 1932 and based in High Point, North Carolina.  This created the company we know today as Drexel Heritage Furniture Industries. Note that Heritage furniture was of consistently higher quality than Drexel, more handcrafted with superior materials.  When you find a piece of furniture marked "Heritage" this normally indicates it is pre-1963.

Drexel Heritage is one of the names that has made the state of North Carolina synonomous with quality American furnishings.  Today Drexel Heritage is one of the top furniture makers in the world.
