When did Thomasville start making furniture?
1 Answer
Thomasville began making furniture in 1904 in the town of Thomasville, North Carolina. Thomasville’s initial offerings were limited to one item — the Thomasville chair — and it was known in its early days as the Thomasville Chair Company. People loved Thomasville chairs so much that demand surged for more types of seating and other furnishings. In 1922, there was even a 13-foot replica of the original chair design installed in the town square. Dubbed "The Big Chair," it was rebuilt in 1951 to a height of 30 feet and still serves as the town's most notable landmark. Shop a selection of Thomasville furniture on 1stDibs.
