Vintage authentic RATTAN Sofa and Chair from the Imperial Rattan Company. The company was started in Michigan and moved to Walkerville, Ontario in 1905 and then Stratford, Ontario in 1910. The company changed its name to the Imperial Furniture Company in about 1949. Both the Sofa and Chair have a metal marker saying Imperial Rattan Company, Stratford. Both are in excellent conditions but have been used. This would suggest the pieces were manufactured between 1910 and 1948 before mid-century modern took over the market and changed the name and direction of the company. Great pieces for the Patio, the Porch, the Piano room or Conservatory, ot Outdoor Living Enclosures etc. A great Conversation Piece in itself with provenance. For the Connaisseur or Decorator who can appreciate the style and the Era of this furniture.
