FRENCH HERITAGE FURNITURE Jacques recognized at an early age how beautifully made antique furniture was. The delicate carvings and rich finishes held their splendor despite their age. As a young man, he worked in the family antique business. But after meeting his American-born fashion-model wife, Henessy, they decided to strike out on their own. Their vision was to create a company that specialized in creating heirlooms for the future, using the same techniques once employed by the master craftsman of Europe. These reproductions would be better than ordinary mass-produced furniture. They would capture the look and feel that can only be found in genuine antiques.Together, Jacques and Henessy started French Heritage in Los Angeles in 1981. His expertise was the furniture while she infused the normally stodgy furniture world with the creative excitement of the fashion industry. His knowledge of classic antique funiture coupled with her sense of style and her knowledge of the American market make them perfect partners.
