Designed by John Wisner for Ficks Reed and introduced in 1954, the etagere is from the Far Horizons Collection. Featuring a sturdy bamboo frame, the shelving unit has wood/rattan woven shelves and a wood storage unit (painted black) that can be removed (see white spot which can be touched up). There is a bit of settling in the center of the unit, hard to see. It is good condition except for a few signs of wear commensurate with age and use. This piece of furniture is timeless and exceptional with many years of use available to the new owner. About Ficks Reed Furniture. In 1885 Louis Ficks founded the National Carriage and Reed Company in New York and was known for it’s wicker baby carriages. At the turn of the century the company relocated to Cincinnati, Ohio and was renamed Ficks Reed. They began to make furniture using wicker, rattan and bamboo. Over the next few decades an increased interest in the growing popularity of Eastern imports and the Japanese influence of Frank Lloyd Wright’s modern architecture lead the company to associate themselves with prominent designers including Paul Laszlo, Dorothy Draper and John Wisner. Wisner designed the “Far Horizons Collection” which graced many homes and such luxury properties as the Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton Resorts as well as The Breakers in Palm Beach, FL.
