Kage Furniture Revisited

Kage Co. 3/4" to one foot furniture was manufactured in Manchester, Connecticut between 1938-1948.  Living room, dining room, bedroom and kitchen furniture were all manufactured and accessories such as fireplaces, lamps, and clocks were also sold. From what I can tell my collection is only missing a few pieces - the grandfather clock and the coffee table.







Early pieces had legs manufactured with straight dowels, but later more ornate turned legs were used.  None of the pieces has working doors or drawers. 












I have been working on a townhouse for my Kage collection.  It is a work in progress.

This last picture shows one of the first Kage pieces that I acquired.  The table and chair were part of my great grandmother's and currently reside in the nursery of this house that my daughter and I built.  To see more pictures of this house click HERE

  3. I love your Kage collection! I was introduced to it a couple of years ago by a collector friend who lives all the way in Australia, and I've been slowly amassing my own collection. It's lovely to see them in place in your beautifully furnished rooms. Thanks for sharing!

  5. Interesting how so many companies back then copied eachother. The lamps and clocks look so similar to the pieces made by Schoenhut and Strombecker. I wish Kage marked their pieces way back when. Do you have any of the metal Kage furniture? Michael J. Kouri of icghosts.com
