The Union National Furniture Co. of Jamestown, N.Y., was formed in 1939 from the National Furniture Co., which had been in business since 1891. All of the furniture produced was of high quality hardwoods and featured hand painted details by skilled artists who catered to the likes of celebrities including Wayne Newton, Lucille Ball, Jerry Lewis and William Holden. Both companies were owned and operated by the Nord family. Union National closed in 1994, still operated by the Nords but owned by Wall Street financier Webb Turner.
