I am writing a new book to document real, original Paul T. Frankl rattan furniture from the 1930s and 1940s.

I am looking for anyone who may own, know of, or have information about authentic Paul T. Frankl rattan pieces, including old photos, family history, receipts, advertisements, catalogs, labels, or stories connected to the furniture.

If you have any original Frankl rattan furniture or know someone who does, I would love to hear from you. My goal is to preserve and document this important part of American design history.
