After gaining two generations of furniture manufacturing experience, Bob and Belle Cooper stepped out on their own to establish The Uttermost Company in 1975. Today, the Uttermost Company is still 100 percent owned by the Cooper family, with Mac and Taz Cooper managing the business with a prestigious management team behind them.
Uttermost is best known for their home décor. They are able to proudly stand behind their wide-ranging lines of mirrors, art, metal wall art, and clocks because of their stellar manufacturing processes. Uttermost does not carry two pieces of art that look the exact same; professionals use their years of experience when crafting each piece of art and metal wall art, thus creating a completely original piece every time. Uttermost’s commitment is evident in the pride that every artist takes in his or her work, which translates into superior quality home décor for the consumer.
One of Uttermost’s most distinguishing features in their lines of art and mirrors are the frames. The commitment to excellence at Uttermost has led them to two styles of frames – carved wood and molded polyurethane. With the time-tested manufacturing process, the only difference between the two options is price. The molded polyurethane frame feels and looks just like wood. Uttermost also offers frames in wrought iron or forged steel for certain pieces of art.
The finish is just as important as the frame itself to Uttermost. This is evident in the different styles of finishes that Uttermost offers. The most simple finishes come in one layer; however, the more attractive and elegant finishes require numerous steps which can include hand-laid metal leaf and hand-antiquing, which means that each frame is also one of a kind, just like the art.
In making a name for themselves as a manufacturer, Uttermost has developed quite a following of dedicated customers thanks to their superior quality products.
