Kindel Furniture - www.kindelfurniture.com (Casegoods/Accent Furniture)

The roots of Kindel begin with Charles J. Kindel and his founding of the C.J. Kindel Bedding Company in 1904. By patenting a number of convertible bed products, he set firmly the foundation of Kindel in the furniture business. In 1912 he moved the company to Grand Rapids, Michigan where it continues today to design and create some of the finest furniture in the world.

Through some fortunate acquisitions and business decisions, as well as welcoming his son to the company, Charles Kindel transitioned the business to eventually be called the Kindel Furniture Company. His son Chuck had trained in notable furniture-making companies in both Grand Rapids and England, and along with his sibling Tom, succeeded their father in leading the business.

As is true for so many storied, long-standing companies, Kindel navigated economic fluctuations, world wars, social changes, and a variety of lifestyle trends with energy and grace. Over the years, the company has preserved a stalwart commitment to traditional styles, and the hand-carving, bench-assembly, and hand-finishing that makes articles of Kindel furniture truly distinctive.

While honing throughout their history their expertise in traditional American furniture designs, Kindel also has been favored with licenses from globally prestigious institutions such as the Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur Museum, and the Irish Georgian Society, Varney & Sons Collection which includes the Dorothy Draper Collection, and Mount Vernon. The collections Kindel has reproduced from these venerable originals are line-for-line copies using the same primary and secondary materials.

Entering the 1960s, the Kindel family era was drawing to a close. The company was purchased by another renowned American business family, the Fisher family of Muncie, Indiana. John W. Fisher has served as the chairman of the Ball Corporation, and now he and his son — James Fisher — continue to own and lead Kindel into an increasingly promising future.

He grew up learning the skills of a carpenter, turning wood into artful creations. The desire to make distinctive furniture was an instilled value and the skill to make it was a gift. He spent hours carving, hand-sanding, sewing and upholstering handcrafted pieces. This, he decided, was the "ideal" way to build a unique brand of furniture. With the help of his fellow craftsmen, he transforms solid woods, soft leathers and fine fabrics into handcrafted furnishings no machine could ever match. Each piece of Hancock & Moore furniture bears the signatures of these artisans that created it. Whether it is crafting custom orders, or surveying production, his skilled vision for perfection remains.

W. King Ambler - www.wkingambler.com (Artwork)

W. King Ambler Inc., a third generation family owned wholesale manufacturer, specializes in decorative artwork, antique prints and mirrors. For over six decades, we have utilized our discerning eye for quality materials and innovative design, placing us at the forefront of the furniture, design and hospitality industries. We are unique in that every picture is custom made and handcrafted by a team of skilled artisans.

W. King Ambler, Inc. grew out of Wyllys King Ambler's love of antique prints and engravings. He was an independent furniture sales representative whose great love of antique books and prints led to the creation of the company that now bears his name: W. King Ambler, Inc.

King Ambler visited England and other parts of Europe after World War II where he purchased numerous antique books. Many of the sources he found on that trip are still used to this day. When his collection grew so large that his wife issued the ultimatum, "It's either me or the books," he began breaking the books apart and selling the prints to his various furniture accounts, thus initiating a new business.

In the late 1950's his son Richard entered the business and suggested to King that they begin framing the prints they were selling. At first, contract framers produced the pictures. Eventually they launched their own framing division of W. King Ambler, Inc.

For several decades, W. King Ambler, Inc. grew and matured. The third generation joined the organization in the 1980's bringing talents that enriched the design, sales, marketing and operations departments. In addition, the hand-finishing department was established. During this time, we expanded our sales force to cover the entire country, doubled our sales, modernized our facility and firmly established ourselves as the industry leader.

With the advent of the twenty-first century and technological advancements, W. King Ambler continues to embrace growth and opportunity. Our digital printing department's foundation was built upon both the extensive library of antique books and the cumulative years of product design experience. Through our ability to digitally translate, manipulate and enhance images, we have developed our own exclusive line of products. Our line continues to grow every year and contains more than 3000 images. Having access to the vast number of images and the immeasurable customization options, we have opened creative opportunities for years to come.

Today, Harry K. Ambler, the grandson of King Ambler and son of Richard Ambler, presides as owner of W. King Ambler, Inc. Harry is committed to the tradition and growth of W. King Ambler. The majority of our employees and skilled artisans have more than 15 years of employment with W. King Ambler and are dedicated to producing the same exceptional quality and superior detailing that has always been a part of the W. King Ambler line.
