Georgetown Galleries Solid Mahogany Server
With felt lined flatware drawer. Along with raised panel doors
Georgetown Galleries had a world-wide market for the solid mahogany and cherry furniture it produced in West Virginia, USA. The firm began as the Empire Furniture Co. founded by Biggs-Probst Furniture Co. In 1905, it was purchased by C. Lloyd Ritter, who changed its name to Huntington Furniture Corp. In 1946, the name was changed again, to Georgetown Galleries to convey the character of the 18th-century and Early American styles of the furniture the firm produced. In a 1954 interview with the Huntington Advertiser, Herman W. Schoenlein, then the company’s vice president and plant manager, said the furniture made by Georgetown Galleries “will last indefinitely, will mellow with age and will certainly be treasured by generations to come.”
Schoelein’s 70 year old statement rings true with this Georgetown Galleries as an example. Crafted from solid mahogany, this dining server features 4 drawers, including a felt-lined segmented flatware drawer, and a cabinet for optimal storage space, adorned with attractive brass hardware. This piece would function beautifully as intended in a dining room, or bring beauty and storage into many others.
