Featured Rooms: The Weatherford Collection by Kincaid

If you're looking for quality furniture that will last look no further than Kincaid Furniture. We have been close partners with them from the very beginning and even encouraged them to build their first bedroom group! During the years following World War II, supplies of new furniture were still difficult to obtain since most major manufacturers had been devoting the bulk of their production capabilities to the war effort. What little furniture was available typically was sold only to the very largest retailers.

To find a source of quality bedroom furniture, owner of Grand Home Furnishings, George Cartledge Sr. approached his friend J. Wade Kincaid. Kincaid had recently started a small factory in western North Carolina with his brother producing cedar chests and wardrobes. George Sr. asked Wade if he would make a solid-mahogany, four-piece bedroom group. When Wade said “no,” it was too risky for his fledgling company to produce an entire group, George Sr. asked if he would be willing to take on the order if four cuttings were sold in advance.

“Wade agreed, thinking there was no way that was going to happen, but my grandfather called up Sterchi’s, Rhodes-Havertys and another area retailer and in no time he had commitments for all four cuttings,” said George Cartledge III. “That put Kincaid into the solid-wood bedroom business, and they eventually grew to become the largest producer of the category in the U.S. and our biggest supplier.”

While several enhancements have been made since their beginnings in 1946, Kincaid still uses solid wood construction, time-tested joinery techniques, and hand rubbed finishes to craft their wood furniture.

The result? Two different finishes: Cornsilk and Heather. Cornsilk is a lighter hue, nearly white, while the Heather finish is more of a grey-brown blend that works well in darker settings. Whether your room is bright and full of life or on the edge of darkness, a piece from Weatherford by Kincaid will add dimension to the area, building character among the furnishings in your home.
