Monterey Furniture - Classic Hollywood Style

The Monterey Furniture reflected the glamour of Hollywood within the dining area of The Walking Box Ranch. Nineteen-twenties Hollywood quickly embraced this style.  The Warner Brothers' movie "In Old Arizona" featured Monterey style furniture, and soon, Hollywood stars such as Clark Gable, Will Rogers, and the "It Girl" herself, Clara Bow all integrated the furniture into their homes. The rustic, personal and warm character of the pieces commissioned by Clara Bow and Rex Bell provide a glimpse into their way of life and added character to the Walking Box Ranch. Monterey furniture coincides with the plain, welcoming cowboy culture that Rex Bell sought to create at the Walking Box Ranch.

Fun Fact:

Clara Bow loved to chew gum and regularly stuck it under the table.  Peak under the table to view her gum!
