    Was wondering if anyone had any insight into this beautiful corner chair. 29" tall by 24" wide. It is stamped under chair J Harris. Believe he made this piece of furniture before he joined the Henkel-Harris CO. Any info of year and possible value would be appreciated. Seen it and had to have it. Have never seen a corner chair in this good of condition. Thanks

    I can find no information to support the assertion that John Harris of Henkel-Harris Co. made furniture using this mark. How did you come up with this attribution? Otherwise, would place this to early 20th century. Edwardian period for English furniture.

    Yep- 20th cent repros.On the homepage it says-
    'The Henkel-Harris legacy started from humble beginnings. After serving in the Second World War, Carroll Henkel, along with his wife, Mary, entered the furniture business with their friend, John Harris. In 1946, The Henkels rented their first building and began making furniture. They spent countless hours studying woodwork and learning all that they could about the craft, also began working as furniture repairmen. This opportunity allowed them to perfect their finishing techniques and gave them a greater understanding of the antique furniture that they regarded so highly. The experience gained from this endeavor led to the creation of the acclaimed Henkel Harris finish, which is still regarded for its high clarity, durability, and overall quality.'
