Hide Profile

The Nathan Margolis Shop, a furniture making firm, was established in Hartford, CT in 1894 by Nathan Margolis. Hand skilled craftsmen were employed to make furniture as well as to do restoration work. Harold Margolis inherited the business after his father's--the founder's--death. Harold concentrated on reproducing antique furniture and began to market high fidelity audio systems. The business continued into the mid-1970s. In later years it was known as the Margolis Shop.
