Style is Personal.
New Mexico enjoys a rich tradition of furniture making, and an evolution of style that comes from a constant influx of new people and cultures. From the colonial era, to the introduction of the railroad, to the effects of globalization, the American Southwest furniture craft is characterized by change, and a welcoming of new ideas.
Throughout the years, we’ve seen this same evolution right here at Ernest Thompson. Our skilled craftspeople have built quality furniture and cabinets in every style imaginable. From historical reproductions to cutting-edge modern, we have experience in all styles and finishes.
