Mohlhenrich Furniture?

18 years ago

Anyone know anything about Mohlhenrich Furniture?

The only piece of furniture left in the neglected house Im restoring was this large, ornate table. It was extremely heavy. After many months of renovation, the table got upended onto the kitchen island so the floors could be sanded and finshed.

Thats when I noticed this tag on the underside

I did a google search and found very little.

Anyone know anything about this company?

    found this posting while looking for the Reliable Furniture Company (a table we bought at a flea market):

    John George Mohlhenrich (3-25-1865 to 7-30-1941)

    Mr. Mohlhenrich was born in Baltimore, the youngest child of John George Mohlhenrich and Margaret (Schaberg). His parents emigrated to Baltimore from Gellershausen, Waldeck, Germany. His father died when he was very young. He attended the public schools and a business training school. When about eighteen he began working at the Reliable Furniture Company and in ten years advanced from apprentice to the point where he bought the firm out and renamed the establishment as Mohlhenrich Furniture Company. His factory was located at the corner of President and Fawn Streets.


    He was a member of Martini Lutheran Church and later associated with Zion Church. He was a member and director of the German Society of Maryland and held the office of Vice President at the time of his death. He was also Vice President of the Society for the History of Germans in Maryland. He was the father of the �Julius Hofmann Memorial Fund and served as a trustee until his death.

      Never heard of it....but what else does tht tag say? And what does the table look like. Perhaps the style will give a clue as to era and make thr search easier.

      The tag just has a name and address on it. No other clues really.

      But.....what is the address? And what does it say below? Mr Harris???

    • 18 years ago

      Label printing says:
      The Mohlhenrich Furniture Co
      305 President Street Baltimore, MD

      Its addressed to:
      Mr Harris
      c/o Rans Bros. (or maybe its Sans or Lans?)
      150 Lafayette Street
      New York, Ny

      The address didn't give me much information. Its a very large building in NYC that holds multiple stores and commercial space now.

      Companies used to put the name of the purchaser on their labels during shipping. Mom had a dresser which was done this way, shipped all the way to Gran in NW Florida via train, before the Depression.

      Unforunately, she had my brother place it in a shed, where termites got to it.

      We are related, then. He was my great grandfather too.

      My grandmother was Julia Wells Mohlhenrich Fossey, the daughter of John Molhhenrich.

      if you have more information about the family, I would really love to communicate with you. 😊
