Old Hickory Company
A well known manufacturer of “rustic furniture”, the Old Hickory Company was begun in 1892 in Martinsville, Indiana. Most of its products were made of peeled or unpeeled tree branches and woven rush type seats and backs. Its products are identified by a three line brand “Old Hickory Co./Martnsville/Indiana”. Some later pieces bear paper labels instead of the brand; the firm closed in 1965.
