Maine Cottage

Maine Cottage is a Maine-based furniture company in the United States with a flagship store in Annapolis, Maryland.
History
The company was founded in 1988 by Peter Bass and originally located in Yarmouth, Maine in a restored cannery on the Royal River. Bass is the great grandson of Wilton, Maine shoe maker G.H. Bass, and artist Carol Bass.
Maine Cottage was the first company to offer American Country, Early Shaker, and Mid Century Modern-inspired painted wood furniture in a multitude of original colors. The idea originated with artist Carol Bass painting and selling "found" piece of cottage furniture. The company then began to design furniture and paint its own custom pieces. Since then the company has expanded to include its own wicker and an upholstery lines. Maine Cottage furniture is principally manufactured in the United States.
In 2011, the Maryland-based furniture company Russell & Mackenna acquired Maine Cottage. In 2012, Maine Cottage opened a flagship store in downtown Annapolis, Maryland. The 2,000 square foot space showcases the company's furniture as well as home accessories.
