HIGH POINT — Family-owned luxury furniture manufacturer Theodore Alexander is celebrating its 30th year, and marking the milestone with anniversary celebrations set for the fall High Point Market.
Founded in 1996 by antiques dealer Paul Maitland-Smith, Theodore Alexander began creating luxury furniture with original design and craftsmanship. The company became one of the first in the industry to manufacture in company-owned facilities in Vietnam, offering woodworking, hand carving, hand painting and the use of diverse wood species.
Throughout its 30-year history, Theodore Alexander has developed partnerships to offer collections with Alexa Hampton, Judith Leiber and its longest-running collaborator, Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, launched in 2006.

Most recently, Theodore Alexander has invested significantly in U.S.-based expansion. In 2024, it purchased a 200,000-square-foot headquarters facility in Trinity, N.C., to bring its operations, customer service, U.S.-based upholstery manufacturing, warehouse and distribution services under one roof.
In 2025, the company purchased a freestanding High Point showroom on Hamilton Street in the High Point design district, opening the showroom later that year. Also last year, it opened its first retail-friendly showroom and design center in the Long Island suburb of Manhasset, N.Y.
“Over the past five years with Theodore Alexander, I’ve come to appreciate what makes this company truly exceptional,” said Ed Teplitz, president of Theodore Alexander, adding, “As we celebrate Theodore Alexander’s 30th anniversary, we’re proud of how the company has evolved while remaining true to the values that have defined us from the beginning. Our enduring commitment to craftsmanship, both here in the U.S. and through our company-owned manufacturing facilities abroad, continues to guide everything we do.
“This fall, we’re excited to honor our heritage by reintroducing select retrospective designs, bringing back some of our most beloved pieces for a new generation while celebrating the timeless appeal of great design.”
Theodore Alexander will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a Friday evening party during High Point Market at 5 p.m., Oct. 16. All market attendees are invited to join the celebration. For more information, click here.
