About

Welcome to Premier Craftsman, where timeless craftsmanship meets modern elegance. As an innovative furniture company based in sunny California, we take pride in curating & designing exquisite pieces that enhance your living spaces. Let us introduce ourselves: 

At Premier Craftsman, our story is woven into the very grain of the wood we work with. We proudly stand as third-generation furniture designers/builders, carrying forward a legacy that began with our late grandfather. His hands, weathered by years of dedication, shaped timeless pieces that still grace homes today. Our father, too, also embraced the craft. His workshop smelled of sawdust and imagination—a place where creativity danced with oak, cherry, and maple. One of our fondest memories is when we moved and invited family over for the holidays, but we did not have a dining table large enough for the occasion. It was Tuesday and everyone was coming over on Thursday, so the 3 of us (mostly him since we were kids) went into the shop at 10 am, picked boards from the lumber rack, and got to work. By midnight, he had the entire table built and ready to finish. After the finish was applied, he let it sit there until Thursday morning, hoping it would off-gas enough so the fumes would not choke anyone too much. It came out beautiful and everyone loved it!  

Woodworking is in our blood. Passed down from father to son, the love of woodworking courses through our veins. My brother and I—bound by more than blood—carry forward the torch. We honor the legacy, knowing that each dovetail, each mortise & tenon joint, is a tribute to those who came before. Our team is not just a workforce, they are kindred spirits. Hand-picked for their skill and reverence for the craft, they help us breathe life into our designs. Together, we create heirlooms that bridge generations. We did not stop at tradition, we also sought knowledge beyond the workshop. Our father’s formal and informal “on the job” education in design & engineering sharpened his eyes and mind, and in turn sharpened ours as well, allowing us to blend aesthetics with functionality. Every piece we create marries form and function. Previously armed with just pencils and rulers, we are now armed with computers and CAD. We design, sketch, and engineer our visions. Then, in the hum of the workshop, they transform into reality. Together, we create heirlooms that bridge generations. Not only do we proudly build our own designs, but we work with some of the absolute best builders in America to keep up with demand. 

While we offer our own furniture, we also offer highly sought-after antiques. When it comes to our antiques, we primarily offer authentic antique Stickley furniture as we truly cherish the legacy of Gustav Stickley. His Arts and Crafts movement-inspired designs continue to resonate with discerning collectors and connoisseurs. Our collection of antique Stickley furniture as well as our Stickley inspired newly built furniture, pays homage to timeless craftsmanship, emphasizing hardwood construction, simple lines, and the skill of the artisan. Each piece tells a story—a testament to the enduring place Stickley holds in the history of design. We also offer other antiques from the Arts & Crafts period that are designed & built well enough for our own home. We find new homes for treasures from the past, as well as exceptional values for the most discerning collector.  

Arts & Crafts furniture goes by different names like Craftsman furniture, as well as Mission Style furniture. This style of furniture captures the essence of simplicity, functionality, and elegance. Inspired by the early 20th-century Arts and Crafts movement, our Mission style furniture embodies clean lines, solid joinery, and a commitment to natural materials. Whether it is a classic oak dining table or a cozy chair, our furnishings evoke a sense of purpose and harmony in any home. Another style of furniture synonymous with Mission style furniture is Minimalist furniture. For those who appreciate the beauty of simplicity, Minimalist furniture, just like Mission Style furniture, offers clean, uncluttered designs. Crafted with precision and an eye for detail, these styles seamlessly blend form and function while enhancing your living space without overwhelming it.  

At Premier Craftsman, we believe that furniture should be more than just functional—it should be an expression of your lifestyle and values. That is why we proudly offer:
