History
The company was founded in 1988 by Peter Bass and artist Carol Bass. It was originally located in Yarmouth, Maine in a restored cannery on the Royal River. Bass is the great-grandson of Wilton, Maine shoe maker G.H. Bass.
Maine Cottage was the first company to offer American Country, Early Shaker, and Mid Century Modern-inspired painted wood furniture in a multitude of original colors. The idea originated with artist Carol Bass painting and selling "found" pieces of cottage furniture.
