The Nathan Margolis Shop, a furniture making firm, was established in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1894 by Nathan Margolis. Hand skilled craftsmen were employed to make furniture as well as to do restoration work. Harold Margolis inherited the business after his father's--the founder's--death. Harold concentrated on reproducing antique furniture and began to market high fidelity audio systems. The business continued into the mid-1970s. In later years it was known as the Margolis Shop. Harold had kept his shop in public view by lecturing and appearing on local television, often to promote its "Antiques of the Future". Nathan Margolis emigrated to the United States from Lithuania, where his family had been in the furniture making business, via London, England, arriving in 1892. He and his father Charles had an antiques business in Hartford for five years. Nathan then started to reproduce antique furniture. At least one of his brothers, Abraham, helped him in his shop. Nathan is believed to be the first person to make a cabinet for a radio set, his first being a reproduction of a lowboy. Nathan died on February 8, 1925, at the age of 52. He was married to Rachel Bliss. They had five children, including Harold who continued his father’s business, and Irving. Rachel Bliss Margolis died on June 17, 1951.
