Wright Table Co. Did It Right!

Wright Table Company Did It Right!


Established in 1971, by Mr Don Wright, it was located in Morganton, North Carolina. The Wright Table Company made reproduction furniture based on English, French, and American designs from 1690-1830 with “a few wrought iron designs from a more recent vintage” as Mr. Wright liked to say. His craftsman carefully adapted them to meet the needs and dimensions of modern households. The company also offered these custom designs that use 5/4" thick kiln-dried cherry, mahogany and yew wood in solids and veneers to provides adaptive styles (such as overhangs for wheelchair accessibility). A quick search online will demonstrate their fabulous work. They made pieces that were beautiful and comfortable to live with. As Mr. Wright explained, “We are taller and heavier than our 18th century ancestors.” Their pieces are larger than “those slept in by George Washington or written on by Henry Fielding.” The furniture “is substantially made and intended for heavy use. It is our purpose and expectation that our furniture will serve you well and your children and their children for a very long time. We hope that you are as proud to own it as we were to make it.” Please see our current auction items 3 and 4.














In 2015, the Company closed after 44 years, citing falling sales and it’s inability to recover after a substantial fire in 2012. Mr. Wright said, “The greatest thing is that I have had some wonderful employees and I venture to say that my employees are as skilled as anyone in the business. My customer service person is probably the finest customer service person this side of Pluto.” Designers and high-end dealers continue to treasure and sell this wonderful furniture as they come to market
