About the Item

Condition: Original Vintage Condition Designer: Frank Mason Manufacturer: Mason Manufacturing Style: Californian Monterey This Monterey side chair, crafted in the 1930s by Frank Mason of Mason Manufacturing, embodies the spirit of early Californian design. Made primarily of maple with richly stained turned legs, it reflects the Spanish Revival influence that swept through Southern California during this period. More than a simple chair, it represents a lifestyle rooted in rustic charm, relaxed living, and the blending of European tradition with the rugged character of the American West. In its day, such pieces were not only practical but also cultural statements—furniture meant to evoke the romance of the Rancho era, when craftsmanship and storytelling were woven into everyday objects. With its original finish and patina, this chair offers both history and authenticity, making it a rare window into California’s design heritage. Fun Historical Fact: The Monterey furniture line was introduced in 1930, during a time when Southern California was defining its own unique aesthetic identity. Frank Mason and his team drew inspiration from Spanish Colonial architecture, Mexican ranch life, and the romanticized vision of Old California—where haciendas, adobe walls, and hand-hewn beams shaped the cultural landscape. This furniture was not meant for formality but for living: solid, rustic, and welcoming, perfectly suited for California’s growing middle-class families who craved pieces that echoed both history and leisure.
