The 150th Anniversary, Heywood-Wakefield, The Early American Company Catalog, 1976

Heywood Brothers and Wakefield Company, two rival 19th-century furniture companies specializing in wicker and rattan furniture, merged in 1897. In 1921, the company became the Heywood-Wakefield Company. It would become a leading American manufacturer producing quality mid-century modern furniture, and later Early American designs. The company published this 150th-anniversary catalog--dating from the founding of Heywood Brothers in 1826.
