Charles Limbert Arts and Craft Furniture Inspired The Limbert Shuffleboard

Charles Limbert was born in Lyonsville, Pennsylvania, in 1854 and died at his home outside Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1923. He opened his furniture factory in Grand Rapids in 1902. He was one of the most successful furniture leaders in the history of Grand Rapids and the Arts and Crafts movement in America. The furniture that bears his name is often some of the most extraordinary works of art and craft furniture ever made. To this day, it is highly sought after and thoughtfully collected. In his honor, we have named a custom Shuffleboard model we called 'The Limbert".

Charles Limbert collaborated with several major furniture builders and designers in Grand Rapids in the late 1800's such as "Klingman and Limbert Chair Co" and his own furniture selling commission called "Charles P Limbert & Co", he opened his own name brand company, the "Charles P Limbert Furniture Co" in Grand Rapids in 1902.

Grand Rapids has a rich history of early Dutch Arts and Crafts furniture. Charles Limbert always used the term arts and crafts to describe his furniture, never the word mission. He visited Europe several times and studied examples of Dutch peasant furniture. He consistently acknowledged the influence of the German and Austrian Secessionists on his work.  

    A client of McClure Tables sent them a Pinterest photo of the shuffleboard style they liked and asked McClure to make a style similar to it. The team of craftsmen responded as they always do, offering some creative liberty on the design. A few things we did not like, so we came up with our own original style.

At McClure Tables, we do not just build shuffleboard tables; we craft them one at a time in our Grand Rapids woodshop. We do not even use AutoCAD drawings; these creations are crafted by master woodworkers who draw on their imagination and creativity to craft the finest shuffleboard tables in the world. We ship McClure Tables worldwide and have tables in Japan, Australia, Taiwan, the Netherlands, Russia, Israel, England, and New Zealand.
