Our Story.

Don’t know much about History Company?  

Our very first product was an executive chair, true to the chair used by President John F. Kennedy at his desk in the White House Oval Office.  We ran a small ad in The Wall Street Journal and in a few months sold these historic chairs to hundreds of homes and offices in cities all over the country, to celebrities and business leaders at home and abroad.

Guided by the voices of our customers, we broadened our offerings to focus on practical, historically faithful home improvement pieces that are hard to find elsewhere — vintage-style furniture, refined glassware, rare artifacts, and of course, an expanded collection of executive chairs for the home or professional office.  

For over a quarter century, we have democratized access to products that were once niche — functional and meaningful products, inspired by taste, sophistication, and exclusivity.  Each curated piece holds a story, told in an informative, slightly romantic tone that conveys its provenance, craftsmanship, and period authenticity.

And our story is still being written.  Each day we seek out new treasures and deliver pieces that honor the past while elevating the present.  We invite you to discover what speaks to you — and make a bit of history your own.
