It began with a dream. After selling their Pepsi-Cola bottling plant in Montana in 1968, then working for two years in the Peace Corps in Ghana, Robert and Rebecca Jorgensen were searching for a new life venture.Family connections in Wells enticed them to this southern Maine coastal community. After 30 years of interest in antiques, and wishing to embark on a new career, they purchased the historic 1685 Mill House property and began living out their dream of dealing in fine period antiques. And so, in 1971, R. Jorgensen Antiques was established in Wells, Maine.
About Us Thomas Schwenke, Inc. is a specialist firm dealing primarily in authentic original furniture of the American Federal period.

All items are backed by our written guarantee of authenticity and over 35 years of experience in the field.Historical SignificanceAmerican Federal furniture reflects the economic, political, and social development of the New Republic from 1785 to 1820. As the country prospered, its citizens built larger homes and turned to the finest cabinetmakers to furnish them. Based on the classic designs that inspired such great English architects and designers as George Shearer, Robert Adam, Thomas Sheraton, and George Hepplewhite, American Federal furniture is characterized by its refined formality; a distinctive sense of proportion, scale and line; and highly figured veneers, inlays and subtle carving. Lighter and more elegant than Colonial furniture, Federal pieces are prized for their historical significance and their utility in the contemporary home.Firms FounderThomas G.
