Antique Huntley Sheraton Mahogany Bowfront Chest of Drawers Tallboy Dresser

About the Item

A beautiful Sheraton style tallboy dresser by Huntley Furniture, circa 1930s. Made from mahogany with a bow front. Includes 5 dovetailed drawers, oval brass hardware, carved foliate, and fluted stiles along the sides. The chest is supported by square tapered legs between a serpentine lower apron and spade feet. Measure: 50". In 1906, Oakland Manufacturing Company bought out the Winston Furniture Company, forming a new enterprise called B.F. Huntley Furniture Company. Winston Furniture Company’s facilities at Depot and 11th streets (now Patterson Avenue and 12th Street) included multiple lumber sheds, a railroad siding, two dry kilns, a three-story brick manufacturing building, and water tanks, all of which became the new home of B.F. Huntley Furniture Company. In the manufacturing building, woodworking was done on the first floor, “erecting” or assembly on the second, finishing on the third, and warehousing in the attic. By 1907, a bridge had been built from the third floor finishing rooms, north across the railroad siding, to a new multi-story warehouse, packing, and shipping building. Improving safety, electric lights had replaced kerosene lamps and automatic sprinklers had been installed. By 1912, the B.F. Huntley Furniture Company had expanded again. An additional story had been added to the warehouse building to provide more space for varnishing and finishing. The warehouse had also expanded to the south, so that it directly adjoined the original three-story manufacturing building. A railroad platform had been constructed east from the warehouse, providing easy access for loading and unloading on the north side of the railroad siding The factory had more than doubled in size by 1917 with new specialized spaces for veneering, sawing, planing, joining, painting, and crate making. It surrounded the railroad siding on the north, south, and west sides. A one-story office building stood at the corner at Patterson and 12th, apart from the factories and workshops. In 1920, Huntley expanded again by acquiring the Forsyth Furniture Company. B.F. Huntley Furniture Co. received the permit to build a two-story office building at the corner of Patterson and 12th in 1921. Additional storage and work buildings had also been added to the perimeter of the factory core and site by 1950. On February 14, 1956, the B.F. Huntley Furniture factory caught fire. The factory was largely consumed in a loss costing just under $1.5 million. The two-story office building constructed in 1921 survived the fire, and the factory was rebuilt around it within nine months. In 1961, Thomasville Chair Co. and Huntley merged, adopting the name Thomasville Furniture Industries. Thomasville manufactured furniture in the facility until 2006.
