Being raised in the furniture industry as a child. I have lived to see the upward and downward trends of the industry as it relates to Maryland. Many crafts persons have passed away unfortunately without leaving the knowledge of this trade.
It is my hope to be able to teach this trade to a younger generation that it may add quality and stability to their lives and a sense of connection to a heritage craft skill.

About the Artist
Warren Savage is a third generation upholsterer and furniture maker with over 35-years of experience in the industry. Mr. Savage raised by his grandfather who in the year 1942 went through the GI bill to learn upholstery and furniture making. He then met Savage's grandmother who was a seamstress in Highpoint, North Carolina where they both worked in a furniture factory. This city was known to its residence as the furniture capital of the world. They migrated to Elkridge, Maryland in the late 1950's where they established an Upholstery business in their garage where Savage's father also learned the trade that they passed onto Warren. They are all deceased now but to their memory Warren has been able to keep their legacy alive. He specializes in antique restoration as well as commercial and residential work. Mr. Savage was commissioned to reupholster the historic Belvedere Hotel on Charles Street. In 1996, he was featured on Antique Roadshow where he stumbled upon a chair that belonged to Truman Capote. In 1994, Warren established W Savage Upholstery and Furniture Repair, which is still in operation today and is located in the Baltimore Innovation Center on the Manufacturing floor of the Wicomico building in Pigtown.Booking
