One of our favorite furniture brands that we carry in the shop is Modern History furniture. This handcrafted furniture is made to last (and to be stylish) for generations. With dovetailed drawers, solid brass hardware, and hand-applied finishes, it's the type of furniture that will live in your home for years and years to come.
Why We Love Modern History Furniture
We chose Modern History and its sister brand, Somerset Bay. to carry in our shop not just because of the exceptional beauty of the different pieces, but because of the quality.
Owned by second-generation furniture makers, Modern History and Somerset Bay makes furniture in small batches. This old-school way of making furniture allows artisans to painstakingly monitor the details of their high-quality finishes. Their furniture doesn't run off the assembly line by the tens of thousands - furniture makers are working on each individual piece to insure its quality.
Modern History's furniture is made with timeless construction that will last. Dovetailed drawers and solid brass hardware will stay intact and functional for generations.
We also love the style of Modern History furniture. The pieces fit into a range of different home styles, from Midcentury modern to French country to farmhouse. They can seamlessly be added to a room and look like they were made for it.

This is the perfect dining table for a formal (or not-so-formal) dining room. It's made of solid mahogany and comes in 24 finishes, including wood veneers and painted finishes. The double pedestal gives a light, airy look and plenty of leg room for your guests. |

We also love a console table in a dining room. It's a nice way to add some depth and decor to even a smaller space or dining room. The Modern History Metal and Acrylic Console fits under a mirror or art piece and is a great landing spot for decor, floral arrangements, candlesticks, or smaller serving dishes or wine glasses.

Our Favorite Modern History Bedroom Furniture
Modern History has a wide range of nightstands and commodes - we love these larger items for bedside tables, as they give you plenty of storage (and really anchor a bed and a room).

A larger chest or commode works well in a guest room with two twin or full beds - it provides enough room for both people to lay their books, water glasses, and phones.

Our Favorite Modern History Beds
Modern History and Somerset Bay have some beautiful beds for every style. Made from solid wood, they come in a wide range of painted and wood veneer finishes. We love that they can fit as easily in a Park Avenue apartment as a Palm Beach cottage.
