Chateau Furniture Returns Home

Cave Friend — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 16:00:40 +0000

After a careful museum restoration, a portion of the Mason Monterey furniture collection at the Oregon Caves Chateau is returning home. This is no staid museum collection behind glass, however. These beautiful pieces will decorate the Chateau lobby and are there for you to enjoy “hands on.”

Next time you visit the Oregon Caves National Monument, take a cave tour, and then be sure to visit the Chateau. You will feel most welcome. Inside you can lounge with friends and family while the past wraps itself comfortably around you. Please sit respectfully though; these are museum pieces after all!

The furniture in the Chateau was designed and built by Fred Mason, who founded the Mason Manufacturing Company of Los Angeles in the late 1920’s, and his son George Mason. The style is derived from Spanish and Dutch Colonial, California Mission architecture and furnishings, simple ranch furnishings, and cowboy gear such as lariats and branding irons.
