What's that coming in through my front door??
FINALLY, Craigslist gives up a vintage rattan bar in Kansas City!!!!!!!
Of course my cats had to inspect it right away
Wish it still had the stools with it. ;(
Has a great little pull out shelf to hold bottles and more.
Check out those hairpin legs!
This bar is fantastic and is so well made that you can sense it was created by real craftsmen and not just a shop cranking out cookie cutter cheapos.
ROJAS HOME ARTS furniture Cavite City, Philippines
I didn't find any previous references to this manufacturer here on TC but did find a site honoring the maker whose family provides the history of the company. http://www.freewebs.com/bernardorojas/excerptsfromhisthesis.htm
Furniture Business
Sometime in the mid 50s, Bernardo Rojas and Virginia Salcedo put up a furniture business named ROJAS HOME ARTS( main office and show room located at San Antonio,Cavite City near Sangley Point with another show room in Mabalacat, Pampanga). It sold rattan furniture to a wide variety of customers,most prominent of which were the officers of the United States Armed Forces stationed in Sangley point in Cavite City. This was a thriving business until 1962 when it closed shop due to their separation.
I once was lost....... .....but now I'm found
