Heywood-Wakefield Co. Carts and Bar Carts
Mid-century modern furniture obsessives seeking vintage Heywood-Wakefield tables shouldn’t be fooled by the harmony that the company’s hyphenated name suggests. For much of the 19th century, Heywood Brothers and Wakefield Company were bitter rivals.
Founded in 1826 and 1855, respectively, both Heywood Brothers and Wakefield Company were Massachusetts manufacturers that produced American-made furniture, specializing initially in wicker and rattan. The five Heywood brothers started their furniture business in a backyard shed, making wooden tables and chairs with cane or wicker seats, while Wakefield founder Cyrus Wakefield began working with scrap rattan, which he bought at the Boston docks, where it was used as cushioning in the holds of cargo ships. In 1897, however, the two joined forces, merging to become Heywood Brothers & Wakefield Company, which was later simplified to Heywood-Wakefield Co.
The company would eventually purchase the Washburn-Heywood Chair Company, the Oregon Chair Company and Lloyd Manufacturing Company, creating a mini-empire of American furniture with manufacturing locations across the country.
Heywood-Wakefield’s earliest solid-wood table designs reflect the decorative emphasis and Japanese influence that swept the United States at the turn of the century. In the ensuing years, the brand adopted principles of the Arts and Crafts movement, but by the 1920s, interest in wicker furniture was waning in America. To boost sales, the company enlisted guest designers like Paul Frankl, who crafted coffee tables with sturdy bamboo supports and other furnishings for the brand, and Donald Deskey, who brought his mastery of Art Deco design, with sculptural side tables boasting elegant maple tops supported by cylindrical flat-band steel bases. Gilbert Rohde introduced modern designs to Heywood-Wakefield (and also, in 1932, to Herman Miller), adding Art Deco pieces to the company’s portfolio such as sleek walnut dining tables. The company prized versatility: A set of Heywood-Wakefield’s elegant mid-century modern nesting tables are an elegant space saver in any living room, while a Rohde-designed solid-walnut console table, for example, would be fitted with hinges on its underside, so that you could position it against a wall with its top closed or, alternately, open it for serving a meal if your space was too modest to safely accommodate one of the manufacturer’s sophisticated dining tables.
No matter your needs, find an extraordinary range of vintage Heywood-Wakefield tables on 1stDibs.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023To identify Heywood-Wakefield wicker furniture, look for the maker's mark. It will either be printed on a paper label or stamped onto the piece in an inconspicuous area like the bottom or back. Pieces made after 1949 normally have the company name positioned inside of an eagle. Earlier furnishings will likely just show the maker's name. If you're unsure whether a specific piece is authentic, a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer can assist you. Shop a range of Heywood-Wakefield furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024To identify a Heywood-Wakefield chair, you can first look for a maker's mark. Beginning in 1949, the manufacturer began affixing paper labels to the undersides of chair seats. These labels usually feature the brand name along with an eagle logo. Unfortunately, the paper labels tended to come loose over time, so not all chairs will feature them, and pieces produced before 1949 are usually unmarked. If you can't find a marking, examine the hardware that holds the chair together. Heywood-Wakefield typically used Phillips head screws, so the presence of other types of fasteners will usually indicate that a different manufacturer produced the chair. In addition, the maker only utilized solid wood to construct its chairs. If you see plywood or veneers, your chair is probably not a Heywood-Wakefield. Because it can be difficult to identify an unmarked chair on your own, you may wish to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer assist you. Explore a range of Heywood-Wakefield chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024To identify Heywood-Wakefield furniture, search for the maker's mark. You will typically find it on a paper label or stamped directly onto an inconspicuous part of the piece, such as under the seat or tabletop. Early pieces usually display the company's name on its own, while those manufactured after 1949 will often have an eagle logo along with the Heywood-Wakefield wordmark. If questions about authentication remain, a certified appraiser or experienced antiques dealer can assist you. Explore a diverse assortment of Heywood-Wakefield furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023Heywood-Wakefield started making furniture in 1897. The company formed from the merger of two rattan furniture manufacturers, Heywood Brothers and Wakefield Company. Both companies were in Massachusetts. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Heywood-Wakefield furniture.
