History:
https://www.1stdibs.com/creators/woodard-furniture-co/furniture/
Lee L. Woodard and Sons, opened a shop with his sons, Joseph, Lyman II and Russell. During the 1930s, the new company explored the use of metal in furniture-making and introduced a wrought-iron set of patio dining furniture featuring ornate grillwork inspired by French design called Orleans in 1940. The line became a best seller and kick-started the company’s international reputation as a patio-furniture maker, even as the Woodard factory subsequently shifted toward supporting the wartime efforts in manufacturing parts for trucks and military equipment. After World War II, the business returned to making furniture. While the business started with more traditional styles of furnishings, the company would go on to embrace mid-century modernism. One of Woodard’s most famous pieces is 1956’s Sculptura chair.
