Warren McArthur Aluminum Coat Hat Rack from the Arizona Biltmore, 1932

A wonderful Warren McArthur club chair and ottoman that personify the comfort of his furniture. Warren's patented compression assembly was designed to provide flexibility in the frame to add more comfort via a slight flex in addition to the cushions. The aluminum strap back added to this flexibility in contrast to the rigid welded steel tube frame that was the standard of McArthur's contemporaries. This club chair and ottoman were manufactured at the Warren McArthur Furniture Company in Los Angeles between 1931/33. The chair's design, while similar in overall look, predates Warren McArthur's classic Park Avenue Lounge (Style No. 1003 EAU p. 9 of his 1936 corporation catalog) by at least two years. This is the only example of this chair that I have seen. The pair was said to have come from the Arizona Biltmore but I cannot confirm that provenance. The absence of labels is typical of all Arizona Biltmore furniture...

A Warren McArthur modernist rolling bar cart manufactured during the first years Warren was located in Rome, New York. The Warren McArthur Corporation moved from Los Angeles to Rome, New York in January of 1933. The label ending in "PATS APPLIED FOR" identifies the bar as being manufactured in Rome between 1933/34. The use of square half inch tubing for the rails bordering the shelves and the staggered count of one, two or three tubes is a well considered contrast to the one inch round tubing that comprises the main body of the bar frame. The inch and half rectangular U tube that forms the foundation tube of the bar cart gives the necessary strength as well as a strong rectilinear visual that lends a visual balance with the half inch rectangular tubing. The spacing of the three half round shelves...
