Willett Furniture company was located in Louisville, Kentucky, and, I believe, made furniture from the late 30s into the 60s. The furniture was at the peak of popularity from the late 40s into the early and mid 50s. The furniture was never cheap. It was manufactured furniture rather than hand-made, but the pieces were always very carefully crafted, and were made of solid hardwoods, most often cherry but sometimes in maple as well. A piece of cherry furniture from Willett was made of solid cherry inside and out--no veneers, plywood, particle board or any other cheap material even in interior places like drawer pieces. They were also famous for their hand-rubbed finishes, particularly on cherry, which often gave a glass-like polished but almost three-dimensional transparent depth to the wood, rather than appearing as a finish on the top of the wood, unlike many of the finishes now appearing on newly-made cherry furniture. The Transitional collection was advertised in a 1957 Better Homes and Gardens. By 1964, the company was out of business.
