[QUOTE="EricaJudd, post: 2605235, member: 16237"]Greetings! Does anyone have information about this furniture company? The most I have been able to find is that they moved to Peru, Indiana in 1930 and changed their name to Hausske-Harlen Furniture Co. My piece has Harlan-Hausske Furniture Co. Peru, Indiana on it...so I know it was made after 1930. And it resembles other curved, channel back sofas from the 30s and 40s. I was wondering if there was a name change that from Harlan first to Hausske first that would help me narrow the age down. I had to deconstruct the entire piece to refinish it. So I know that the cushions were made with springs, boar hair, cotton batting, and covered with an indigo velvet. A jute type loose weave material was also used that was brittle and disentigrating. Metal straps and cables were used to suspend the sofa springs. Did they make catalogues in the 1930s and 40s?[/QUOTE]
