Oak & Velvet was started as the sister company to Sew-Fine Upholstery in Middletown, Connecticut. Owner Michael Ciborowski has been upholstering furniture for over 35 years. During his years at Sew-Fine he repeatedly met customers that would come to him to reupholster their expensive, lower quality furniture. Through these repeated experiences and passion for his craft, he developed a strong desire to produce furniture made to last, like it was many years ago. With the help of talented and trusted craftsmen, Oak & Velvet was born to bring you the highest quality, handcrafted furniture to New England.
