The H.T. Cushman Manufacturing Company was founded in 1886 and spent close to 100 years building furniture in Bennington, Vermont. The company began by building coat racks, pencil boxes, hat hangers, and more, but soon became well known for their furniture.
The business was sold to General Industries in 1964 by Hall W. Cushman, the third generation of the Cushman family to manage the business. In 1971 the facility was sold to Green Mountain Furniture Co, which subsequently went out of business in 1980.
This piece dates from the 1920's and is in the Colonial Revival style, which was hugely popular at that time and again in the 1980's. Sadly the demand for it now is very modest, pieces like this often go for under $100.00 these days.
