History

The company was founded as a housewares manufacturer in 1932 by Theodore Baumritter and his brother-in-law Nathan S. Ancell. They bought a bankrupt furniture factory in Beecher Falls, Vermont in 1936 and adopted the name "Ethan Allen" for its early-American furniture introduced in 1939, after the Vermont Revolutionary War leader Ethan Allen.
In 1972, the Baumritter Corporation moved its headquarters from New York City to Danbury, Connecticut. In the late 1970s, the Baumritter Corporation officially changed its name to Ethan Allen. The Ethan Allen International Headquarters Complex includes the Ethan Allen Hotel, corporate headquarters offices, and an interior design center.
The firm was sold in 1980 to Interco for $150 million, with Ancell remaining as an advisor. The company was sold again in 1989 to a management group headed by current chairman, president, and CEO Farooq Kathwari. In 1993, the company went public to help raise $156.9 million through the sale of common stock.

In 2004, Ethan Allen closed its two plants in Boonville, New York and Bridgewater, Virginia, laying off 250 each.
In 2008, the company announced plans to close a dozen design centers. The decision was made to consolidate the design centers with others that were currently serving the same market area.
In 2009, the company laid off 238 workers in Beecher Falls, Vermont; 93 workers remained.
In 2021, during the 2021 cryptocurrency boom, the company's stock price increased as investors confused the company's stock with Ethereum, with which it shared the ticker symbol ETH.
Ethan Allen updated its ticker symbol to ETD on August 16, 2021.
In 2022, Ethan Allen completed the purchase of Dimension Wood Products, Inc., which expanded Ethan Allen's manufacturing base in North America. This purchase resulted in the strengthening of Ethan Allen's vertical integration and supply chain.
