The Spanish Revival movement in architecture was well established
when Barker Brothers, a California furniture retailer, approached
the Mason Manufacturing about creating a line of Spanish-styled
furniture. That was 1929, and within a year Mason had created a
24-piece line of furniture called Monterey. It was immediately
popular, and would continue in production until 1943. Today this
high quality, beautifully designed and decorated home furniture is
much sought after by collectors. This richly illustrated book shows
Monterey furniture in color to capture the variety of its
hand-painted finishes and forms. In addition, related pottery, fine
art, textiles, and interior accessories from the Spanish Revival
period (1915-c. 1943) are included, representing a variety of
artists and manufacturers. In all, there are over 500 photographs,
each with a helpful caption. The material for this book is based on
an exhibit at the California Heritage Museum, Santa Monica. Guest
curator, Roger Renick, has provided historical essays. For the
first time, this popular phase of American decorative arts is put
in its cultural context.
