Tropical Sun Co. Frankl Style Rattan & Mahogany Two-Tier Corner Table, 1940s *SOLD*

A very handsome mid-century Paul Frankl-style rattan and mahogany two-tier corner table by Tropical Sun Co. of Pasadena, California. Expertly-crafted bent rattan stacked with alternating openings that give the curvaceous square form a substantial yet open feel. Stands on gently splayed four-strand rattan feet. Both tiers feature professionally refinished blonde mahogany tops. Art Deco lines and refined island vibe would look fantastic in a SoCal, Palm Beach, bohemian, or tiki interior, as well as out on the lanai. Retains original Tropical Sun Co. production tag. Overall dimensions are listed; lower tier is H 16 in. Acquired from the original owner’s estate as part of a superb Paul Frankl-style rattan living room suite that includes various equally well-executed seating, tables, and lighting. All pieces were originally purchased at the same time from Tropical Sun Co., founded in 1934 in Pasadena, California, and taken over in 1973 by renowned rattan impresario Harvey Schwartz. Dimensions Height: 23.5 in. Width: 30 in. Depth: 30 in. Condition Good Refinished. Wear consistent with age and use. In great vintage condition. A few tiny, inconsequential marks on feet. Blonde mahogany tops have been professionally refinished. On lower tier back left corner is a hard to see small area very slightly lighter in tone.
