The word "parlor" comes from the Old French root that gives us the current French word "parler" or "to speak". The words "parliament" and "parley" have the same derivation. So the parlor was a comfortable, somewhat private room where one could have a meaningful conversation. Hardwood Artisans makes sofas, loveseats, and chairs that would fit nicely into and facilitate the conversation in any (your?) parlor.

These pieces have nice high backs that are so inviting to settle into and wide arm rests that work so well to support your book or your arm.

Choose a fabric that will really fit your room, place a couple of nicely matched pillows in the corners, add some of our coffee tables and end tables, and the right lamps, and these Parlor Sofas and Chairs will become the focal point of the most comfortable room in your home. Imagine the conversations that will follow.
