Furniture made in Jamestown is indeed as fine as best of Grand Rapids in its heyday.

This handsome Georgian style piece is made of mahogany with a warm, glowing finish -- not excessively red as some mahogany finishes are. It is in great condition, so clean and free of blemishes that it probably never had been used. Vintage mid 20th century, probably the 1940s or 1950s.

Jamestown is also the birthplace of Lucille Ball, Natalie Merchant and 10,000 Maniacs! less
