This was around the same time that WR Hearst was building the Hacienda del Pozo de Verona for his mother in Pleasanton, CA, just east of SF.

The plot thickens... These three are copies made in 1900 from the three that came from Mexico with the original dining set executed by the San Francisco firm of McCann, Belcher and Allen. Those other three, the Mexican originals are also on this site. If you look hard you can spot the very slight variation. Essentially the two sets of chairs comprised a six chair dining set to go with the other pieces we acquired of this suite.. See less
