Description

Mitchell & Rammelsberg was a Cincinnati-based firm best known for manufacturing a variety of different high-class, Victorian-style furniture items such as bedroom suites, bed frames, dining suites, dressers, sideboards, desks, sofas, tables and much more. The items are typically made of fine mahogany, rosewood or walnut, and feature "elaborate decorative elements" as well as three-dimensional carved fruits and animals.
The firm was founded in Cincinnati, Ohio by Robert Mitchell (an Irish cabinet maker) and Frederick Rammelsberg (a German immigrant). The firm was one of the first in Cincinatti to use steam-powered machinery, and by 1870 the company was using 30 steam-powered woodworking machines whilst employing 250 workers to help manufacture their furniture.
The firm changed their name to The Robert Mitchell Furniture Company in 1881, however, the firm closed in 1940.
