Founded during the 1920s, the Broyhill Furniture Company was one of the stalwart North Carolina makers of mid-priced, traditional wooden furnishings, and it served American families well. The Colonial Revival style — chairs with turned legs, beds with split pediment headboards — had always been the company’s stock in trade. But the vintage Broyhill bedroom furniture, dressers and cabinets of the postwar era are quite popular with today’s fans of mid-century modern design — particularly those who enjoy more flamboyant stylings, such as those of Adrian Pearsall.
For collectors of a certain type, Broyhill is most admired for its brief foray into the contemporary furnishings of the late 1950s and ‘60s. In 1957, responding to changing tastes, the firm launched its Broyhill Premier line with the Sculptra series.
Sculptra pieces featured decorative molding with a square-within-a-square motif and horizontal cat’s eye-shaped drawer pulls. Five years later, Broyhill introduced the Brasilia furniture group, inspired by the Oscar Niemeyer architecture for the brand-new Brazilian capital. The collection made its debut at the Seattle World’s Fair.
The cabinet door fronts of vintage Broyhill Brasilia pieces feature moldings based on the sweeping colonnades and parabolic curves of such buildings as the Palácio da Alvorada (“Palace of the Dawn”), the presidential residence. As you will see on 1stDibs, Broyhill created a striking and spirited line of furnishings that will make a happy keynote in any Atomic Age-inspired interior.
Ohio retailer Big Lots acquired the rights to the Broyhill name and related trademarks in 2019.

Red / Orange "Bittersweet" Chapter One Drawer End Table by Broyhill Premier
By Broyhill, Raymond Loewy
Located in Chattanooga, TN
Well it's 2022, and Broyhill's Chapter One Collection is officially harder to find and more sought after than the Raymond Loewy orginals. With all due respect to Raymond Loewy, there really is something magical about the Chapter One line. Maybe they're just more fun and approachable. Maybe it's the proportions and practicality. Regardless, they're one of our favourite collections of all time. And to make it all that much sweeter (wink wink), this is the first red/orange "Bittersweet" piece we've ever had. This particular model, the "6317-14 Drawer End Table" was one of only a few Chapter One pieces to be offered in this color. After 12 years and several yellows and greens, the red / orange, known by their catalog description as "Bittersweet" has evaded us until now. Once in our grasps, the restoration team pulled no punches, and the end result exceeded our expectations. Every inch of painted wood and metal was professionally sanded primed and painted to match the original bright white. The laminate top and molded plastic drawer front was finally buffed and polished to a glassy shine. It's tough to see this one go, but we know it will be loved. Original Catalog Description: Chapter One is the beginning of a new era in furniture...
