desk id  

I'm looking for some additional info about this John Stuart inc desk.

I am getting mixed messages on who produced furniture for John Stuart. Some people believe that he only re-sold furniture, while others believe he manufactured furniture? I know he was associated with Widdicomb furniture and the Grand Rapids area.

This desk looks similar to some planner group/ calvin furniture desks but I cant find a match. All of the handles and fittings are solid brass. I'm guessing it is walnut veneer and probably american.

So. Did John Stuart inc actually manufacture furniture or just retail?

This desk was originally black lacquer in rough shape. I'm still working on finishing the piece.

I thought I remembered someone posting info about this exact desk but I searched to no avail.

Thanks for any info!
