Metz Furniture

Posted by Adrienne Lassman <jade@socal.rr.com> on Sun, 24 Feb 2008, in response to metz hammond, posted by mark rojkowski on Sun, 23 Dec 2007

I came upon your website while researching Metz furniture and found your Uncle Jerry's information most interesting.

We own a Metz dining room grouping (table, chairs, server) that is a highlight of our home. We were looking for additional chairs but nobody seems to be selling any Metz belongings! Ours is about 40 years old and a cousin who was an interior designer in Chicago helped to select it. A side note is that her husband, along with being a Professor of Architectural Engineering at IIT in Chicago, was also either the President or the Editor of the North American Woodworking Assn (I may not have the name accurately but it is close) and may have met your Uncle, i.e., the connection, along with her own judgement of quality furniture.

It is said to have learned of what the subsequent owners did to diminish the quality and reputation of the company until its demise.

Still, the name "Metz" on furniture always elicits a favorable response and we have enjoyed the pieces we have over many decades.

Is anyone in your family still in the furniture business?
