Romweber A Name From The Past!
Len, 43 years ago we bought a beautiful and expensive 10 piece dining room set. I would like to know more about the set. Inside the drawers it has the name ROMWEBER. On the order card which I still have, it shows 560 Invicta, Italian period, and the wood is cherry and Carpathian burl. We have just given this set to our daughter and her husband and I would like her to know a little bit about Romweber. It is in a like new condition. When we bought this set, we also bought a Hibriten chair which is hand carved on each side and the chair looks just as good now as when we purchased it, as it was mostly for show in our living room. Can you tell me anything about the chair? I would appreciate any help you can give me concerning these items.
Thank you so very much!
Hi Dorothy,
I remember it well. Actually Romweber is still in business and if you go to their web pages you will get the complete history of the line: www.romweber.com will give you the complete story. It was an excellent line and while I haven’t run across it recently it has a proud tradition. Now Hibriten is gone. Bernhardt Furniture Company, www.bernhardtfurniture.com, bought Hibriten, I believe, in the 70’s and closed them down. It was very fine furniture though. You have given the kids some very, very, nice items. I hope they appreciate them.
