Our Story
For over three decades, Theodore Alexander has made furniture the slow way — by hand, from honest materials, to be lived with for a lifetime.

The Beginning
Founded in 1996, Theodore Alexander has become synonymous with high quality home furnishing products that adorn interiors throughout the world. With a commitment to detail, craftsmanship and the use of fine materials, every product is exhaustively designed and crafted in its factory-owned facilities to bring impeccable pieces to discerning customers.
Over the years Theodore Alexander has introduced collections of furniture born from the most visionary minds in the design community, starting with its founder Paul Maitland Smith. It is through these perspectives that furniture collections, ranging from neoclassical traditional to casual transitional designs, have been brought to the marketplace with the Theodore Alexander stamp of excellence.
Evolving with its customers, Theodore Alexander now embarks on a new era that looks to expand the brand’s footprint further into upholstery, lighting and original artwork, while maintaining a focus on its renowned casegood production. With ownership of factories, Theodore Alexander is able to maintain its unwavering commitment to consistent quality, while ensuring customers’ timelines are met. Its robust USA stocking program provides luxury service to match, with quick lead times and prompt attention to requests. With a wide network of to-the-trade showrooms, interior designers and home furnishings retailers at the core of its identity, Theodore Alexander prides itself on its fine craftsmanship, accessibility, versatility and whole home offering.

The Material
We are drawn to materials that improve with use — leather that softens, oak that warms, bronze that earns a patina no factory can fake. Honesty, for us, is letting a material do what it naturally wants to do.
Nothing is coated to stay frozen in time. Every surface is chosen to record a life gracefully — marks, light and all.
Every piece passes through the hands of master artisans, not a production line.
Honest timber, leather and metal — chosen to age gracefully, never to hide.
Built to be repaired, re-loved and handed on. The opposite of disposable.
Made to order and delivered with white-glove care, exclusive to Manhasset.
