Sacks & Sons was a furniture company based in Brookline and Boston, Massachusetts, operating between the 1940s and 1980s. They produced both reproductions of fine eighteenth- and nineteenth-century furniture as well as contemporary styles. H. Sacks & Sons had a strong professional relationship with furniture designer Paul McCobb, who designed a furniture line for H. Sacks & Sons called the Connoisseur Collection sold exclusively in their stores. The company had a factory located in Brookline up until 1973, when they moved to a new location in Somerville, Massachusetts.
