    These pieces were all inherited with the house my parents bought from family in the 70's. The house was built in the 1890's, and remained in the family all this time. They are stunning but we don't know much else about them other than it was a 'Union Furniture Co. in NJ' and looks like it was purchased from a Department Store from Springfield, Ma. Any clues so we can educate our family down the line and know what they are worth? Thanks :-). P.S. There's also a dining room table, but no chairs...

      The Union Furniture Company was formed in 1939 from the National Furniture Company. The Nord family has run the company since 1891. The Union National company produced high end quality hardwood furniture for many celebrities including Wayne Newton, Lucille Ball, Jerry Lewis and William Holden. The company closed in May of 1994, still under the Nord's control.

      Union National did indeed make fine furniture in Jamestown, NY. They were acquired by Wall St. financier, Webb Turner in an attempt to create a furniture dynasty in the late seventies or early eighties. He acquired several furniture manufacturers, including Union National, State of Newburg, Deville, Burlington Furniture Industries and a few others. He learned, as did several others over the years, that the standard corporate model rarely works in the furniture industry.
