The three companies eventually merged to become a large and reputable manufacturer of case goods, furniture and more. The Romweber story began in the late 1800s, with the launch of American Furniture Company, which made bedroom furniture, Batesville Cabinet Company, a dining-room-set manufacturer, and Batesville Coffin Company.
But for fans of a certain age, the American brand never went out of style. Some vintage Romweber Furniture Company designs may strike the young as passé.
