1950s Van Keppel style dining furniture  

1950s Van Keppel Style...
Thank you for the Barcalo picture. After receiving it, I did what little research I could regarding this furniture line. Even though Barcalo first started out as a tool designer/manufacturer, they later went on to produce furniture-most notably the Barcalounger. The best I can tell with such limited information, Jet Magazine highlighted a line of Barcalo furniture in one of their magazines entitled the Ebonaire line. The picture posted of the table/bench (It could be ordered with cushions) was part of that line. Unfortunately, I was only able to find a handful of pictures showing a limited part of that line. Based on what I can tell, however, the pieces don't quite match up with my table. While researching my table, I am starting to seriously look at construction and parts utilized. As such, I don't believe that my table is part of the Ebonaire family. I really wish that there was some sort of list of california style furniture manufacturers that I could get my hands on.

While I appreciate your persistence, asawa made a good point. There were a lot of designers and manufacturers who were using those materials at that time. Some of them were historically significant, many were not.
Even some pieces by important architects and designers, are not considered highly desirable or bring a lot of money when sold. Take for example this bench by Chicago architect Harry Weese. It's a nice piece and quite similar to the Nelson and Bertoia slat bench. Weese has a considerable reputation for his achievements. Yet still, despite being a rare item, the bench does not bring as much as you would expect.
Sometimes it's just fine to appreciate a piece for the inherent quality of it's design or construction without having a name to attribute it to.

Thank you for your reply. I realize that there are probably hundreds of companies who maufactured furniture like the one inherited by my parents. Truth be told, I have never been in this search in the hopes that I own a potential crown jewel that may be worth a lot of money. It has never been about the money. I would not care if, through my search, I found out that it was made by the Acme Furniture Company and was valued at $0. This search started upon my mother's passing mainly for two reasons. Firstly, my love of design. Funny as it may seem, I have always thought that those of us who appreciate good design also strive for its history. If that were not the case, why is there a forum such as this one? I do so hope that it isn't about the money. My researching my parents' piece has taken me through a lot of incredible places where I have learned so much about this genre of furniture. A plus to be sure. Secondly, I feel that the more I do this, the closer I am to my parents who are sorely missed.
I hope that my fellow Design Addict peers don't mind if I take them through this journey of mine.

Hoping for a new crop of threaders and some answers
It has been awhile and I am still trying to find the manufacturer of my inherited shelving unit. I figured that I would post again in hopes that a new member might actually know my piece. For everyone else, please bear with me. Thank you!
