What is Molesworth Furniture?
- Thomas Molesworth was the pioneer of Western Design from 1890 to 1977.
- His shop was located in Cody, Wyoming and was called “the Shoshone Furniture Company”.
- In the peak of his work in the 1930s and 1940s, his commissions included large Dude ranches, the Plains Hotel in Cheyenne, Abercrombie and Fitch, the Annenberg’s, and President Eisenhower.
- Molesworth’s artistic eye and timeliness created a legacy which is often imitated.
- In June 1995, Christies the Auction house sold the entire Ranch A collection, with items selling more than 50 times the expected price.
