The fledgling chair company started in Marietta shortly after the Civil War with the purchase of a $25 hand lathe. James Remley and his brother Thomas M. Brumby together formed Brumby and Brother and by 1884 the company was incorporated as The Brumby Chair Company. The company has remained in the family, and in Marietta, ever since. For the next 70 years, the Brumby Chair Company flourished as it was passed from generation to generation, growing to produce almost 200 lines of fine hand-made furniture while operating their own shipping company and printing press to print their catalogs.
Once the largest employer in Marietta, Georgia, the factory housed over 350 employees. Finally, in 1944, the inevitable happened. The factory was closed and sold to a short-lived Ohio furniture manufacturing company. But after 70 prosperous years of business, the Brumby family was not ready to let go of the family company entirely. As a result, the family retained the Brumby Chair name and the Brumby Rocker trademark. This proved to be a wise decision. Following several years of inactivity, the Brumby® Jumbo Rocker was produced again under a license granted to Frank and Carole Melson in 1972. The Brumby Rocker became, once again, an instant fixture in homes and on front porches across the country. With over a 100 years of producing rocking chairs, Brumby® Rockers can be found on porches of luxury resorts from Yellow Stone National Park to Naples, Florida. Once found on the Truman Balcony of the White House, Brumby® Rockers have seated presidents, dignitaries, industry leaders and iconic American authors, and each Brumby Rocker is made to last for generations.
When Carole Melson retired from handcrafting the Brumby® Rockers in 1991, The Brumby Chair Company President Otis A. Brumby, Jr., the youngest grandson of founder Thomas M. Brumby, couldn't bear to see his family heirloom threatened by extinction once again. He obtained permission from the five family members who owned the Brumby trademark and brought the Brumby Chair Co. back to life. In Spring 1992, he reopened The Brumby Chair Co. at 37 West Park Square, located appropriately on historic Marietta Square. The new showroom and workshop sit only blocks away from the original Brumby Chair Factory on Kennesaw Avenue. When asked about the significance of his family's company to Marietta, Brumby says, "The Brumby Chair Co. and the Brumby Rocker have been a part of Marietta's history since 1875, and I hope to help insure the continuation of this heritage." Upon the death of Otis A. Brumby, Jr. on September 8, 2012, ownership and management of The Brumby Chair Company transferred to his wife Martha Lee Brumby and his five children.
Under the leadership of his youngest daughter Anna Brumby and his eldest daughter Spain Brumby Gregory, The Brumby Chair Company is once again flourishing and is determined to continue to offer the world's greatest rocking chair. The Brumby Chair Company represents over a century of history, craftsmanship, and quality. A Brumby® Rocker is more than a rocking chair, it is a legacy, it's one of America's last heirlooms.Grey OutdoorOutdoor Rocking ChairsGrey WashRocking Chair RockerSafaviehLake HouseExteriorForwardA country porch classic, this charming rocking chair is a perennial favorite in homes across America.

So when Rethink:Rural decided to set up a booth at the Sunbelt Ag Expo in Moultrie, Georgia, it seemed only right that we give away an ideal ingredient for front porch sittin’ -- comfortable, high-quality Adirondack rocking chairs. We purchased the pretty chairs through Cracker Barrel, but we wanted to make them one-of-a-kind.
We enlisted artist Stephanie Flynn to give each chair a unique, country look. Stephanie turned to Rethink:Rural’s line of bumper stickers (which we’ll be handing out to anyone who visits our booth, FL-61B in the Family Life building!) for inspiration. She chose our most popular design - which shows baby chicks with the words “Country Chick” - for one chair. For the other, she selected an appropriate counterpart, a Texas-inspired design featuring stars with the words, “Country Gentleman.” Stephanie, who earned her bachelor’s degree after studying the arts at East Carolina University, is no stranger to commissioned artwork. The Fernandina Beach, Florida, resident has made canvas paintings to order, constructed furniture on spec and redecorated entire homes. She plans the decor for weddings. She even painted a mural in a Jacksonville, Florida, restaurant that was so lifelike, a man injured himself trying to walk up the stairs in the painting. For the rocking chairs, Stephanie hand-drew the designs on paper, ensuring they were exactly scaled to fit the fronts of each chair.
Then she used transfer paper - a grown-up version of tracing paper that presses an imprint of the design onto the desired surface - to place the designs exactly where she wanted them on the chairs. She then used the transferred design (shown to the right) as her guide to meticulously paint multiple coats of multipurpose, outdoor-ready paint on each chair. The completed chairs were then brought to Georgia to be given away at the close of the Oct. 20-22, 2015, Sunbelt Ag Expo. Anyone who visits the booth can enter to win. Rethink:Rural, which is managed by Raydient Places + Properties, will also give away a kids' John Deere Gator. Stephanie said she was inspired to become an artist by her uncle, who was a talented graphic designer. In fact, she first went to art school to become a graphic designer. But, once there, she discovered she was more passionate about metalsmithing. She majored in the subject, learning to use all kinds of high tech tools to build her designs - from large pieces to intricate jewelry.
