I am trying to find out some more information regarding a piece of furniture that I recently acquired. It has a John Stuart Inc New York Grand Rapids Metal label inside one of the drawers. On the back is what appears to be a date of 1930. From some other research I was told it looks like a Hepplewhite style piece. Further research on
John Stuart Inc revealed the company was in existence beginning as early as 1934 and was a high end retailer in NYC and Grand Rapids which sold furniture from various furniture craftsmen whose shops were located in Grand Rapids. My piece is dated 1930 which would predate what my research indicated the year that John Stuart Inc started (1934). I am trying to find out more information about this piece and obtain an estimated value. I have attached several pictures that may be helpful.
Thank you,
