About the Item

Condition: Original Vintage Condition Designer: Frank Mason Manufacturer: Mason Manufacturing Materials: Maple, Painted Iron Style: Californian Monterey This early Californian Monterey desk showcases Frank Mason’s signature blend of Spanish ranch influence and artisanal craftsmanship, built in solid maple and supported by painted iron stretchers for added stability and character. The sculpted drawer fronts and hand-shaped pulls highlight the organic, rustic charm that defined Mason Manufacturing’s work during the 1930s. Its proportions make it an ideal writing or entry table, offering three functional drawers with their original interiors intact. The maple surface displays a warm, time-earned patina that speaks to decades of use and authenticity. Overall, the piece remains in beautiful original vintage condition, retaining the honest wear and craftsmanship that make Monterey furniture so collectible today. Fun Historical Fact Frank Mason and his brother Roger created Monterey furniture in 1930, taking inspiration from California’s Spanish missions, ranch culture, and early Western motifs. Their designs often featured branded marks, painted ironwork, and hand-shaped details—elements meant to evoke the romance of Old California. Early Monterey pieces were popular among Hollywood stars, appearing in the homes of actors like Clark Gable, Shirley Temple, and even in set designs throughout the 1930s.
