Chatsworth Auction Rooms & Furniture Studios, Inc. was originally started in 1924 by a young man named Sam Lightbody who had recently emigrated from Belfast, Ireland. The original business was "Lightbody's Express", as we did moving, or "expressing" of furniture and goods in and out of New York City. One of his first trucks is pictured to the right with Sam standing at the rear. The business soon grew into a moving and storage company, and a small used furniture store. By the late 1930's, Chatsworth Storage as it was called had outgrown the building, and Mr. Lightbody bought a 5-story furniture warehouse on Mamaroneck Ave in Mamaroneck, N.Y. |
 |
|
During the 1940's, Chatsworth held weekly auctions in our huge location, as well as continuing the moving and storage business. After serving in World War II, Sam Lightbody Jr. returned and joined his father in the family business. |
|
Chatsworth flourished in the ensuing years, as our weekly auctions were a gathering place for Westchester residents through the 1950's. After his father's death in 1956, Sam Jr. continued what had become Chatsworth Auction Rooms and Furniture Studios, Inc. He decided to sell the moving and storage business in 1962, and soon after stopped holding auctions. Through the 1960's Chatsworth evolved into a furniture emporium, buying and selling the contents of homes, used furniture, estate and antique furniture, and new furniture as well. The huge building became a bargain hunter's paradise, as people would spend hours browsing the aisles, jam packed with merchandise . |
 |
|
Throughout the 70's, 80's and into the 90's Chatsworth has maintained it's old world Character, and people love to stop in and chat, or just poke around. There is an ever changing variety of interesting merchandise, and you never know what you'll find, as things come in and go out every day. |
|
Starting in 1977, Sam Jr. was joined by his son, Sam Lightbody III, and the two worked together at Chatsworth until the elder Sam passed away in 1992. Now guided by the hand of its third generation owner, Chatsworth has continued to serve the public with the honesty, fairness and integrity that is worthy of its rich history. Although the latest Sam has brought in more fine antiques, period pieces and quality estate furnishings, there is an abundance of everyday second hand furniture. The store has an incredible variety, and you're apt to find a Steinway grand piano, as well as pots and pans and china. There are hundreds of bedroom chests, dressers, desks, secretaries, china cabinets, chandeliers, dining room sets and more. It's fair to say that anything that can be found in a home can be found at Chatsworth. Our approach is simple and straightforward, providing the customers with whatever they need, and making sure they are satisfied. We will accept any returns, we provide free delivery in our area, and arrange shipping anywhere. In fact, we are currently a regular source for dealers from many other states and dealers from Europe. Chatsworth has thrived for 75 years by doing business the right way, evolving and serving the community in every way, and with our approach and strong reputation, we're sure to continue. |
