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.
