Rare Harold Ionson Seymour Federal Demilune Birdseye Commode Console Cabinet
By Thomas Seymour
Located in Dayton, OH
A rare and impressive commode by Harold Ionson. Made of birdseye maple, satinwood and Honduras mahogany, featuring a half round / bow front with four drawers, two side cabinets, brass paw / claw feet and superb sunburst / starburst top with nautical sea shell and cartouche theme. Includes silverware insert by EJ Victor.
A total of nine of these Reproductions from the original were made over the course of a decade by Ionson and team. And although nearly 200 years separate the pieces, Thomas Seymour’s (1771–1848) demilune commode in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and its modern-day re-creation by Harold Ionson can each deservedly be deemed masterworks of the highest order. Over the past twelve years, Ionson—perhaps the last of the Colonial Revival craftsmen who trained in the 1930s—has made nine re-creations of the original Federal commode made by Seymour in 1809.
“I always loved the piece,” says Ionson, “but the museum wasn’t selling.” His admiration led to hours of thorough study of the museum’s commode. He observed every nuance of its design, then made sketches and even casts of details before embarking on his own version.
“The most difficult part was finding the right figures for the veneers,” says Ionson, “but I found superb quilted bird’s-eye maple, satinwood, and Honduras mahogany.”
Ionson achieved such a sublime work of craftsmanship because he had few constraints. Unlike Seymour, Ionson possessed the luxury of time, modern machinery, and a greater selection of available woods (except ash). The work of both men, however, is distinguished by ingenuity and skill. Part of the challenge of the re-creation was to figure out just how Seymour made the piece, maintain its artistic integrity, and keep to the original’s exact measurements. The execution of the commodes took barely 10 percent of Ionson’s time; mostly he planned, designed, and invented needed tools for precise fabrication, such as a hand-built jig.
The top of the re-created commode features a sunburst of alternating mahogany and satinwood veneers emanating from a lunette of shells painted in oil by Jonathan L. Fairbanks, curator emeritus, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Fairbanks replicated the original by John Ritto Penniman (1782–1841). Courtesy of Harold Ionson.
Ionson thought of everything—from humidity’s effects on structural stresses to drawers popping open—when he considered innovations to the commode’s construction. His additions to the original design include hickory spring...

Gilbert Rohde Dresser 4041 Kroehler New York World's Fair 1940 Two-Tone 44" long
Located in BUNGAY, SUFFOLK
Designer : Gilbert Rohde
Model ; Dresser 4041 Honeymoon Furniture for Young America,
Maker : Kroehler
Exhibited : 'America at Home' at the New York World's Fair 1940.
Created by Gilbert Rohde, 1940's foremost furniture designer, expressly to demonstrate modern living displayed in the 'America at Home' building at the New York World's Fair 1940.
Honeymoon furniture by Kroehler is outstanding in contemporary furniture design.
Notice its space saving compactness, its sturdiness, its freedom from dirt catching corners.
Honeymoon furniture offers comfort, convenience and economy never before possible in the small home or apartment
The use of two different coloured woods to create a two-tone effect is very striking and complements the simple form. This unusual chest of drawers is a signature piece that injects character into any interior.
The raised sides sit proud of the top elevating the chest creating an elegant tray effect. The front is fitted with three drawers with original wooden knobs in contrasting dark brown laurel. The sides have a projecting section of contrasting dark brown laurel at the front which defines the form. Inverted triangular feet. "Kroehler Made" metal tag. Designer unknown.
Kroehler
In 1902, Peter E. Kroehler bought the Naper ville Lounge Co., a maker of wooden lounge chairs and upholstered furniture. Kroehler built a new factory in Naperville in 1913 after the original facility was destroyed by a tornado. Soon thereafter, he renamed the company Kroehler Manufacturing Co. This enterprise soon operated across the country and employed several hundred men and women in the Chicago area. By the middle of the 1940s, with over $20 million in annual sales, Kroehler was the second-largest furniture maker in the United States. During the 1960s, when the company employed close to 8,000 people around the country, annual revenues passed $100 million. The company struggled during the 1970s, closing its historic Naperville factory in 1978 and ending its operations in the area. In 1981 Kroehler was acquired by the ATR Group of Northbrook, which put the company up for sale. By the early 2000s, furniture was still manufactured under the Kroehler name by two unrelated companies, one in North Carolina and the other in Ontario, Canada.
Gilbert Rhode : American, 1894 - 1944
Gilbert Rohde (1894-1944) is best known for helping to create the modern design at Herman Miller Inc. Gilbert Rohde furniture design was focused on mass production and bringing modern products to the greatest number of consumers. He is also credited with designing the first examples of biomorphic furniture in America-which would ultimately shape mid century modernism.
US industrial designer, born in New York. He became familiar with cabinetmaking in his father's shop. He studied at the Art Students League and Grand Central School of Art in New York. Early work was as a drama and music critic, cartooninst, reporter, and furniture illustrator. He traveled to France and Germany in 1927 and was inspired by modernism.
He opened his own office in New York in 1927, designing furniture and showrooms, and consulting with manufacturers like General Electric and Hudson Motor Car Company.
In 1931 HeywoodWakefield Company introduced a compact armless leatherette side chair with bentwood rear legs designed by Rohde, which sold 250,000 over the next eight years. Rohde also developed a later version for the Herman Miller Furniture Company, which was sold dis-assembled and made by what Rohde called an "automobile type of assembly."
By 1929 he had established a relationship with D.J. Depree, president of the Herman Miller Furniture Company in Zeeland, MI and prepared some designs for him. Dupree appointed him director of design there in 1932 as part of his decision to shift the company’s orientation from traditional to modern design. His first modern design for the company, a No. 2185 Group bedroom suite was shown at the Chicago Century of Progress.
Also in 1932, Rohde exhibited his furniture designs in a "Design for Machine" exhibit in Philadelphia, along with designs of Russel Wright. The Herman Miller Clock...
