I would think your referring to Maitland Smith. This is a company founded by Paul Maitland Smith. He has been well-known and respected in the home furnishings industry since 1957, when he earned a solid reputation as a London-based antiques dealer and purveyor of reproduction furniture. By 1979 he had emigrated to Hong Kong and began manufacturing furniture and decorative accessories under the name Maitland-Smith, sourcing product from Hong Kong, Thailand, China, and the Philippines. Today Maitland Smith pieces are still being manufactured in the Philippines. He also started Theodore Alexander.

Unless you could provide a photo of the piece with the identification of "Maitland and Smith" as the manufacturer, then I would doubt very seriously that your Great Grandmother would have purchased a Maitland Smith piece of furniture, as she would have been before his time.

This is the photo of the maitland and smith furniture

It had a like peice of paper on the back saying maitland and Smith with that emblem on it

Just trytrying to get maybe the history and estimate value on the peice and just dont know who to

I have several Maitland Smith pieces and they are finely crafted wood and leather pieces. My best friend has a great apothecary chest in embossed leather. I have never seen a metal piece like that associated with M-S. I am not expert and i know there was a substantial company shift in the 90s I believe but not sure metal pieces were a part of this redirection.

I really appreciate all the help you guys are giving, I love this peice, just wish could know more about it.
