About the Item
Wonderful MCM (a.k.a. Mid-Century Modern) to Modern Founders Furniture octagon commode table or end table cabinet #21135 Patterns 21 in solid Mozambique veneer & brass hardware. This piece still has its original hang tag. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1960-1970’s.
Fabulous and Founders Furniture. What a uniquely designed octagon Founders Furniture Patterns 21 commode table #21135!! Just look at the incredible book-matched veneer top, the cut-off or angled corners, wonderful bronze-tone brass pull on its double opening doors, and it retains its original hang tag!! It also has an interesting groove detail and toe-kick. The wood grain is phenomenal although we had a debate here in the shop between my parents (and work partners!) as to whether it is comprised of rosewood or walnut… My mom said rosewood while my dad said walnut… So, hate to tell them BUT… they were BOTH wrong!! Ha Ha! After MY THOUROUGH research, we now know it is comprised of fabulous Mozambique wood aka Ovangkol or Shedua, an African hardwood! Also, we know Jack Cartwright designed for this company, and many mistakenly think that Milo Baughman did as well (he did not!) and even though we do not know who did design this beauty… we know that Baughman or Cartwright did NOT. Either way, it is a gorgeous end table with generous open storage space behind the double doors. This cabinet is exceptionally versatile and would be fabulous in a hall or entry way under a gorgeous piece of art adorned with a sculpture or foliage. In your family room used to store games and books or in your living room as a lovely end table. Possibilities for this magnificent cabinet are truly endless and it is going to blend in beautifully with any décor style whether mid-century modern, modern, traditional, modern country, or mountain cottage!
Founders Furniture was started in 1947 as a subsidiary of the esteemed Knoll International for their residential line and then merged with Thomasville Furniture in 1965.

Founders Furniture Company
Founders Furniture Company was a short-lived 20th-century American brand that produced enduring mid-century modern designs. The company's streamlined dressers, lounge chairs and coffee tables feature solid wood construction and simple but elegant designs.
The history of Founders Furniture Company began in 1946 when it was established as a subsidiary of Knoll Inc., an esteemed manufacturer known mainly at the time for its pioneering workplace furniture — largely owing to the work of visionary designer Florence Knoll — so it launched Founders as its residential division.
During its years of operation, Founders hired celebrated American modernist designers like Milo Baughman and David Parmelee, who created sleek commodes and sideboards in mahogany and rosewood for the brand. Michigan native Jack Cartwright, a designer at Heritage during the 1950s, also worked at Founders as head designer before moving on to start his eponymous furniture company in 1963.
Founders continued operations until 1965 when Thomasville Furniture acquired it. Established in 1904 in North Carolina — home to other iconic mid-century brands such as Drexel and Broyhill — Thomasville expanded significantly during the 1960s and purchased several other American furniture manufacturers.
Today, the timeless styles and exceptional craftsmanship associated with Founders Furniture Company pieces continue to render them desirable even for today’s interiors.

By Founders Furniture Company

Handsome and versatile Mid-Century Modern walnut cocktail table, coffee table, side table, or end table in the style of Founders Furniture. It is made of solid walnut and in fabulous vintage condition. We have professionally restored the top and refreshed the base. Please see photos, circa 1960s-1970s.
Oh my! The graining of the walnut on this table is so gorgeous! But then I am partial to walnut. How could you not be? So…that combined with this table’s versatility…you can’t go wrong. It is comprised of a solid walnut base made up of four square legs and four square stretchers with a solid walnut square top that overhangs the base equally on all sides. Simple yet stunning. Its height and size are such that it can be used as a cocktail/coffee table or end/side table. It is the perfect depth for a Mid-Century Modern sofa and in the home where we obtained it, was used as a corner table for a matching sofa and chair...

By Founders Furniture Company
Located in Topeka, KS
Wonderful pair of vintage Mid-Century Modern corner step tables from Coronado Group by Luther Draper for Founders Furniture. Gorgeous condition. This pair of tables have been completely restored to their original glory. The tops have been stripped and repainted and the legs have been sanded and given a fresh finish.

Note- We have listed here as well, if they are still available, an additional pair of tables 1 step and 1 side, in this same style but with a satin finish. Although their sheens are different, they would be very complimentary to each other.
Double Delightful-ness!! This is a stunning pair of vintage Mid-Century Modern corner step tables from the Coronado Group designed in 1955 by Luther Draper for Founders Furniture. Their long straight legs with cross stretchers and beautiful brass sabots on the feet are eye catching and sophisticated. They are square with a corner angled step and comprised of a superb matte finished hardwood with Classic back beveled edges. They would look stunning beside your loveseat; living room sofa; dividing a corner or u-shaped sectional; or even a separation for perpendicularly placed sofas and chairs. They will add just the right Mid-Century Modern flair to your home.
Founders Furniture was started in 1947 as a subsidiary of the esteemed Knoll International for their residential line and then merged with Thomasville Furniture in 1965.
