Widdicomb

No. John Widdicomb Company closed its Grand Rapids, Michigan operations in 2002 after more than 150 years of furniture production (the company traces back to 1850). This means all John Widdicomb furniture on the market today is vintage or antique. The closure also means collector interest has risen as supply becomes finite, a factor for buyers considering Widdicomb pieces as both design and investment.

John Widdicomb pieces carry specific identification markings. Most production has a branded stamp on the back of the case piece or inside a top drawer reading “John Widdicomb” or “Widdicomb-Mueller” depending on the production era. Some pieces carry paper labels with model numbers. Construction tells include dovetailed drawers, solid hardwood case sides, and specific hardware shapes associated with the Robsjohn-Gibbings designs. Modern Hill documents all identifying marks, drawer stamps, and construction details on every Widdicomb listing.

Yes. A portion of our Widdicomb inventory is listed as complete bedroom suites (headboard, dresser, nightstands) or matching dining sets (table and chairs). Matched Widdicomb production, particularly from the T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings collaboration, commands a significant premium because complete suites are increasingly rare. Use the filters on this page or contact us if you are building a specific bedroom or dining configuration, and we will identify matches across our current inventory and flag upcoming pieces from the same product lines.
