John Stuart Cabinets
American
Grand Rapids, Michigan, was once known as “Furniture City” for its local mass-production industry that flourished from the mid-19th century into the early 20th century, led by furniture manufacturers like John Stuart. Stuart’s eponymous company, which would build showrooms in New York and Philadelphia, designed and sold elegant reproductions of various furniture styles, including 18th-century French and English furniture as well as what we now call mid-century modern home furnishings built by European craftsmen in the entrepreneur’s Grand Rapids factory.
In 1845, a British cabinetmaker named George Widdicomb arrived in New York before moving to Grand Rapids. There he set up a small cabinet shop in 1857 with a dozen craftsmen, including his son John Widdicomb. The store quickly found success due to Widdicomb’s English training and the dearth of other quality furniture makers in the region. Toward the end of the 19th century, Grand Rapids had earned an international reputation as a leader of American furniture manufacturing, and while the Widdicomb family would navigate some difficulty after the Civil War, they emerged anew as Widdicomb Brothers and Richards, and then the Widdicomb Furniture Company. Widdicomb’s son started his own company in 1897, the John Widdicomb Company, and in 1929, the Grand Rapids–born John Stuart joined the company as a director.
Stuart, who had been in the furniture industry since 1913, was named president of John Widdicomb Company in the early 1940s and by then had formed John Stuart, Inc., with partner Herbert M. Rothschild. John Stuart, Inc.’s offerings included oak buffets and other dining-room furnishings crafted in the Tudor and Elizabethan styles, with cabinet doors and drawer fronts characterized by meticulously carved natural-world motifs and other decorative flourishes. Stuart also oversaw the design of reproductions of sophisticated walnut and mahogany Queen Anne side tables and dining chairs, with the latter marked by pronounced, vase-shaped curves in the back splats and cabriole legs. In 1952, the manufacturer and distributor’s founder sold the business, including the right to trade under his name, to the John Widdicomb Company.

Lighted Danish Rosewood Glass Door Hutch Cabinet Bookcase with Carved Pulls
By Bernhard Pedersen & Son, Erik Brouer, Arne Vodder, Poul Hundevad
Located in Chattanooga, TN
Envision an heirloom of Scandinavian grace—a luminous display cabinet that seamlessly transforms function into art. Crafted in Denmark in the 1970s by Bernhard Pedersen & Son, this distinguished piece embodies the distilled essence of Danish Modern design: elegant proportions, richly grained rosewood, and seamless craftsmanship.
Set into the facade are glass-fronted doors, their smooth surfaces accented by sculptural, solid rosewood carved pulls—each curve carefully echoed in the subtly contoured banding that frames the cabinet. Open the doors to discover a spacious, mirrored interior, thoughtfully illuminated from within and outfitted with adjustable or removable glass shelves—ideal for curated display of china, glassware, or cherished volumes.
The cabinet stands on graciously tapered, turned wood legs—restored and deliberately toned to a slightly darker hue, adding depth and visual contrast to the rosewood body. Threaded metal insert nuts ensure that the legs attach securely and elegantly, merging integrity with finesse.
This is design rooted in the highest aspirations. The construction features tight joinery and choice materials, evident even in the gentle patina that only decades of stewardship can bestow. The cabinet measures a stately 64.5 inches in width, 16 inches in depth, and 49 inches in height—proportions that make it a commanding presence in living rooms, libraries, or refined dining spaces.
Comparable lighting-topped rosewood cabinets in exceptional condition currently exchange in the realm of $3,300, confirming the enduring demand for this rare blend of craftsmanship and elegant functionality . Meanwhile, references across peer platforms affirm the unique stature of pieces by this Danish maker, particularly when illuminated internally and retaining original rosewood tone and build integrity
More than a piece of furniture, this cabinet is a statement—a timeless emblem of Scandinavian modernity that radiates sophistication by day and glows with understated elegance each evening. For collectors and connoisseurs of mid-century design, it offers a rare opportunity to own something that is both functional and timelessly refinished—a silent ambassador of refined taste and enduring design excellence.
Illuminated from the interior, this Scandinavian display cabinet...
