Fun Historical Fact Rockford, Illinois became one of America's important furniture-manufacturing centers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, supporting numerous factories and skilled woodworking trades. Union Furniture Co. was part of this manufacturing tradition and identified Rockford prominently on its maker's labels. During the 1920's, revival-style furniture remained popular in American interiors, drawing decorative inspiration from earlier European furniture traditions while adapting them to contemporary domestic use. The elaborate turning, carved ornament, contrasting woodwork, and substantial proportions of this sideboard reflect that period interest in historically inspired furniture.
