2 Mid Century Modern Kent Coffey "Titan" Nightstands Oak Bedside End Tables Pair

Description

Pair of Kent Coffey end tables, circa second half 20th century. Made from oak with two dovetailed drawers and a lower divided cubby shelf. The Titan line was manufactured in the 1970s.

The Kent-Coffey Manufacturing Company was started in 1907 by Harold Coffey in Lenoir, North Carolina. Along with his friends, neighbors and competitors James Broyhill and John Bernhardt, he was one of the early leaders in establishing the North Carolina furniture industry in the early 1900s.

The Kent-Coffey collections of the 1950s and 1970s were solidly built and priced so the average consumer could afford them, resulting in their being very popular. The brand is experiencing a new surge of interest, as young MCM afficionados are beginning to become familiar with the name and add Kent-Coffey pieces to their growing collections.

Court records indicate that the Singer Company furniture division acquired the company in 1983. However, Singer's aggressive attempt to diversify broadly proved financially unsound, and the furniture division fairly soon went bankrupt.
