A furniture and accessory company based here in Charlotte, JM Piers designs are exquisite creations inspired by the Old World. Jeffrey, the owner and creative force behind the company, lived in Italy and France and studied the techniques that have been passed down for generations among local artisans. He combines this honed skill of hand carving and finishing with his creative eye to produce a rich line of accent and occasional furniture, accessories, mirrors, lighting, planters, candlesticks, sconces and trays. He has also created a proprietary paint formula that he uses on many of his pieces.
