A little help with some vintage Rattan. . .

[resortes805]

I'm having trouble dating the decade that this furniture is from...any thoughts?

Based on "original owners" of an identical piece, early to mid 1940's?

Valve Body and Bonnet

The main part of the valve consists of the marine valve body and bonnet. These two parts form the casing that holds the fluid going through the valve. Valve bodies are usually metallic. Brass, bronze, cast iron, steel, alloy steels and stainless steels are very common. Plastic bodies are used for relatively low pressures and temperatures. PVC, PP, PVDF and glass-reinforced nylon are common plastics used for valve bodies. Bonnet is the part of a valve casing through which the stem passes and that forms a guide and seal for the stem.

I say 1940s also. I am currently using Irises all in my house as a motif. Your chairs would be great. lol Fabulous.

The design could be a little earlier, but as I recall there is a specific NAME BRAND that made this type of art deco rattan furniture that was made and then copied for a long time.

Frankl (Paul Frankl) is one that comes up.

That stuff in Australia is usually 50s-60s...its streamline look gives it a 40s appearance...

And here I thought Rattan was made of bamboo. lol
