A name that produced a prodigious quantity of product in a wide range of quality was the Maddox Table Co. William Maddox was also a great innovator. After founding the Maddox Table Co. In 1898 he invented a machine to polish table tops.

The new company, known as Shearman-Maddox, operated under the Maddox trade name. The company embarked on a remarkable journey of making Colonial Revival-style reproductions, including bedroom suites and breakfronts but quickly focusing on drop-front desks and bookcase/secretaries. Working under the trade name Maddox Colonial Reproductions, the company turned out an extraordinary number of secretaries in a variety of styles and sizes.

The primary piece of work was the Chippendale cabinet with broken pediment and finial, claw feet and serpentine drawer fronts and occasionally a Chippendale model with a block front, usually in a combination of mahogany veneer and various solid woods. But the company also made Georgian bracket base models, Queen Anne versions including a stylish desk on frame, a nice Hepplewhite-style tambour desk and even some chinoiserie models for the Eastern taste.

Quality ranged from cabinets made entirely of a secondary wood, usually red gum, with flat drawer fronts and little decoration to models with gum cabinets and doors and mahogany veneer on the drop front and drawers to solid mahogany versions with all the bells and whistles of the genre including prospect door, document drawers and elaborate cubbyholes with fancy cut plywood muntins over the glass doors. Although they never made the claim as Mersman did about how many desks they, made it is a pretty good bet that there are more Maddox bookcase secretaries and drop-front desks out there than any other single brand.
