Shopping for Vintage Heritage-Henredon Furniture?
Vintage Heritage-Henredon side tables, end tables, dressers and other furnishings are widely loved by design enthusiasts all over the world.
During the mid-century years, North Carolina furniture manufacturers Henredon and Heritage had a cross-licensing agreement. Works by legendary designers Dorothy Draper and Frank Lloyd Wright for these brands during the era are usually labeled Heritage-Henredon.
Heritage was founded in 1937 in High Point by Elliott Wood — with the support of his father, George, who owned a wholesale rug business — while Henredon was established in 1945, in Morganton, by a group of Drexel Furniture Company executives interested in making unique custom furniture for new homeowners of the postwar era.
Henry Wilson, Ralph Edwards and Don VanNoppen — the first few letters of their names combined to create the name Henredon — launched the brand with a total of three chest trunks for sale (Sterling Collett, a fourth figure mentioned in Henredon’s history, chaired the company and served as treasurer). Heritage’s Wood was an original investor in Henredon when the company was getting off the ground.
North Carolina became a hub for furniture design — there was Thomasville and Tomlinson in Thomasville and High Point, respectively, while iconic mid-century modern brands Century, Broyhill and Drexel also opened their doors in the so-called “Tar Heel State.”
During a heyday of production in the mid-1950s, Heritage entered into a partnership with iconic designer Dorothy Draper, while Frank Lloyd Wright created several lines of furniture for Henredon — the works by both designers were marketed under the Heritage-Henredon name. Wright, a legendary architect who gave us some of the most elegant buildings in America, designed his popular Taliesin Series — named after his houses in Wisconsin and Arizona — while Draper, famed for bravura interior design commissions such as the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco and the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia, is known to Heritage-Henredon enthusiasts for her España chests, side tables and other pieces.
