| - - - - - - | Frank Lloyd Wright bed room suite Item # 4469 Click HERE to inquire about this item Frank Lloyd Wright 5-piece bed room suite furniture. It was made by Heritage-Henredon Furniture Industries of Morganton, North Carolina in 1956. It was part of a 61-piece collection of furniture named the "Taliesin Line," after Wright's personally designed home in Spring Green, Wisconsin. Beginning in the mid-1950s, Wright offered his talents to three commercial firms to design products for the home, including furniture, wallpaper, paints, and textiles. Unlike his fellow design reformers of the day, Wright never shunned machinery or mass production, believing its power could be properly harnessed and used as an effective means to bring good design to the general population. The Taliesin collection was made of Honduran mahogany with mahogany veneer, accented with stylized Greek key carvings. Unfortunately, Heritage-Henredon marketed the line poorly, sales figures were disappointing, and Wright did not renew his contract with them in 1956.

- - - - - - | Antique fruitwood Biedermeier single door cupboard Item # 4470 Click HERE to inquire about this item Antique fruitwood Biedermeier single door cupboard early 19th century. The angled corners and bonnet top are generally indicative of German origin. It is a country piece, and appears to be made of pine with fruitwood inlay. The crisp line inlay on the sides, and the star-and-ray inlaid door panel were a nod to the Neoclassic taste of that period. They are kind of an odd contrast to the romantic foliate-carved corners of the door panel, which could actually have been added later. Such contrasts are often seen on country pieces
