Maine Cottage was a Maine-based furniture company in the United States with stores in Maine, South Carolina and Florida.
Company history
The company was founded in a restored cannery on the Royal River in 1988 by Peter Bass, great grandson of Wilton, Maine shoe maker G.H. Bass [1] , and artist Carol Bass. Maine Cottage is headquartered in Yarmouth, Maine.
Maine Cottage was the first company to offer American Country, Shaker, and Mid Century Modern-inspired painted wood furniture in 40 colors.[2] The idea originated with artist Carol Bass painting and selling "found" pieces. The company then began to design and paint its own line. Since then the company has expanded to include its own wicker and upholstery finished in 200 fabrics.[3] Maine Cottage furniture is principally manufactured in the United States.
