This authentic 1930s host armchair (captain's chair) was produced by the Imperial Cabinet Company of Los Angeles during the height of the historic "Rancho Monterey" furniture craze.This premium "Host" model features wide, beautifully contoured paddle arms and distinct bobbin-turned support spindles. The thick saddle-leather backrest is deeply embossed with the iconic, whimsical donkey motif originally popularized during the era.This specific piece is securely authenticated by the stamped "Monterey" block-lettering on the frame, verifying its production by Imperial as a direct, high-end competitor to Mason Manufacturing's line. Known for their superior heft and exceptional build quality, Imperial's Monterey-era pieces are highly prized for their rugged construction and accurate historical character.The chair retains its beautiful, rich original wood patina and features a thick leather seat panel. Remarkably, the original perimeter leather lacing remains fully intact and tight, showcasing minimal historical wear (one disconnected lace) and no dry rot. See less
