Old Oregon Trail Furnishings: Chair

Profile picture for user lgagnon119
By lgagnon119, 10 June, 2023
Description

Purchased these cute little chairs from the grand daughter of the owners (her grandparents, who lived near Boise Idaho and in Sisters OR (near Bend)). They are small: 35” tall, seat height is 18”, width is 14.5”
We are guessing at the date that they were made...based upon research of West-Rest Furniture in Boise ID which opened in 1936, and then were made by (?name of company?) in Bend, OR that purchased West-Rest in 1938. We do not know how long the chairs were produced in Bend, nor the estimated date of the chairs. The designer was a Mr. Kruse.

Medium
