Labarge
Renowned in the world of interior design, American furniture manufacturer LaBarge specializes in elegant, handcrafted mirrors and glass top tables that complement a multitude of decorating styles. Its pieces draw on the timelessness of mid-century modernism, the glamour of Hollywood Regency, traditional European classicism and more.
While the company is based in North Carolina, LaBarge has long looked to cultures all over the world for inspiration, relying on techniques such as carving, gilding, molding and hand-rubbed finishing to create their distinctive contemporary designs and antique reproductions.
LaBarge’s celebrated furnishings include sunburst mirrors outfitted with heavy brass detailing or Italian-style giltwood wall mirrors that feature hand-painted birds adorning the glass panels or chinoiserie patterns that dot the frames. Vintage LaBarge coffee tables, with their unconventional shapes, sleek glass tops and signature hooved feet in brass, are always in demand, while the brand’s dramatic, Louis XVI-style console tables with black lacquer and intricate gilding make a statement in any space.
LaBarge Mirrors Inc. was founded in 1962 by Chicago-born furniture salesman William LaBarge Sr., who purchased the residential mirror division of Holland, Michigan’s Donnelly Mirrors — formerly Donnelly-Kelley Glass Company.
LaBarge’s founder, who had moved to Michigan in the late 1940s, sold the company to Masco Corporation in 1987, which had entered the furniture manufacturing business earlier in the decade and had by then owned widely loved brands Henredon, Drexel and others. A company called Heritage Home Group, LLC purchased LaBarge and a range of other brands in 2013.
In 2015, furniture designer Susan Hable created a new line of mirrors for LaBarge inspired by the likes of Italian architect Gio Ponti and modernists such as Belgian sculptor Georges Pelletier and German-American designer Karl Springer. North Carolina’s Rock House Farm (RHF Investments) acquired LaBarge and other manufacturers from Heritage Home Group in 2018.
