About the Item

Vintage Kittinger Georgian two tier table. Made of mahogany featuring a serpentine gallery and skirt with one drawer and slipper feet. The Kittinger Company was founded in Buffalo, New York, in 1866 as "Thompson, Colie & Co." Around 1870 the company began crafting hand-made upholstered furniture and by this time had changed its name to "Colie & Son" after George and Oliver Colie took control. The furniture business proved so successful for the Colie's that in 1885 they built a factory specifically for the crafting of furniture. Advertising in 1904, Colie and Son illustrated one of their armchairs, that showed they were still making furniture in the free Colonial Revival style for their "snappy, original styles in Parlor Suites, Odd Chairs, Divans, Easy Chairs etc." Reproductions more closely based on original American 18th-century pieces of furniture would come to characterize the firm's production under George Colie's son-in-law In 1913, Irvine J. Kittinger, George Colie's son-in-law, and his brother Ralph purchased the company from the Colie family and changed the company's name to the Kittinger Furniture Company. Under the Kittinger family's control, the company's primary focus was to craft the highest quality furniture possible with Irvine Kittinger saying "Our business is not primarily to turn furniture into money, but to produce something really worthwhile." By 1929, the company was grossing $1,000,000 annually. The Kittinger family controlled and remained involved with the company until they sold their interests in 1966. Between 1966 and 1990, Kittinger Furniture had a total of six owners due to mergers and acquisitions of its corporate owners. In 1995 the company entered bankruptcy after a private owner was sentenced on fraud charges. A former Kittinger employee purchased the Kittinger name and production rights in 1996. The new company has subsequently been profitable. Today Kittinger is one of the oldest surviving crafters of fine built-to-order furniture in the United States.
