Founded in 1890 by Siebe Baker and Henry Cook in Allegan, Michigan, Baker Furniture Company is known for producing finely-crafted, durable furnishings. The company got its start by producing bookcases and desks, eventually graduating to bedroom pieces when Hollis S. Baker took over the company. In the 50s, the brand started heavily collaborating with artists and designers to create various styles of furniture, both traditional and modern. Baker is still around today, and continues to produce modern collections with well-known designers.

Vintage pieces produced by Baker are classically stunning and feature long-lasting construction. One of the first to introduce Asian styles of furniture with their Far East Collection, this brand also introduced other notable styles of furniture to the American Market, including Art Deco, Neoclassical Italian, Scandinavian MCM, Historic Reproductions & Traditionalism. In addition to producing furniture in a myriad of styles, Baker popularized the following design elements (which we love) in their furniture: leather-tops, brass & glass, faux bamboo, skirts, spoon-backs & Ming-meets-Campaign.

When Baker Furniture was founded in Allegan, Michigan, the small town was home to multiple other furniture companies, and was heralded at the time as 'America's Furniture Capital'. less
