Blake and Andora. The name game at Bassett.

Not Blake Carrington and not Endora, the Mom of Samatha Stevens in Bewitched. But we do have a new line of leather/fabric upholstery with a classic line named Blake. Our stylists at Bassett have combined this new arrival with case goods ( that's the term for wood pieces in our Industry ) both shown in this picture. More below this comment. Please stop in and see the new arrivals and enjoy the many finish and upholstery options.

Bassett, May and rain.

On this day, 1962 a birthday salute to U.S. President John F. Kennedy took place at Madison Square Garden, New York City. The highlight was Marilyn Monroe's rendition of "Happy Birthday". She wasn't standing over a steam vent but the performance was 'warm' to say the least. President Kennedy replied, after the performance with the remark, "Thank you. I can now retire from politics after having had 'Happy Birthday' sung to me in such a sweet, wholesome way." Odd the way that things can happen. My thoughts go out to the Kennedy clan today. Maybe the old adage 'the more the merrier' might fit. The lawns and gardens in Chester County, PA should look lush in a few days as the rains have been falling almost constantly. If you have a friend or family member in need, be their umbrella. You never know when you may need yours and find that you have left it in the closet. Oh, and if you are going to be an umbrella, be the best. Speaking of such, we have over 100 Sunbrella fabrics for indoor and outdoor use. Think of your Sunroom, or newly renovated basement area where spills and sleep overs will most probably happen. "A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life." James Allen

44 Luxury Furniture Brands That Are Interior Designer-Approved You'll find everything you need here. By Jessica Cherner Published: May 8, 2025 Bassett When Bassett was founded in 1902, most furniture designers were, for the most part, cabinet makers, and Bassett was no different. The early 20th century experienced a massive boom in growth, so there was an urgent need to supply furniture to all of the new houses, tenements, and more across the country. Now, you won’t find any cabinets with the Bassett stamp, but rather, an array of hand-crafted furniture that reflects the brand’s humble beginnings. Though highly traditional and without a lot of ornamentation, Bassett’s pieces are nostalgic in all the right ways, boasting a very subtle hint at Americana vibes.
