Reflections
This section provides more detailed information on various case pieces that Eldred Wheeler offered over the years. It is divided into the following groups: chests; chest-on-frames; chest-on-chests; blanket chests / small chests; and cupboards.
Most of the case pieces were designed in the company’s early years (prior 1990) and continued to be offered up until its closing in 2019. Over the years, some original designs were modified somewhat to expand the product line or for custom orders.
Cupboards were introduced to address a growing customer demand for increased storage space. The company’s original offerings included a step-back cupboard, corner cupboard, and linen press. The line was expanded in the early 1990s to include a variety of bookcases, breakfronts, and TV cabinets.
