“We strive to make furniture of such impeccable quality that it brings joy not only to the people who own it, but also to the craftsmen who build it."
-Harley F. Shuford, Sr.
These words stand as a testament to the greatness in vision of our founder, Harley Ferguson Shuford, Sr. who founded Century in 1947.
