Albert Chase McArthur Entrance Railing for the Arizona Biltmore 1928

About the Item

Albert Chase McArthur ornamental railing designed in 1928 for the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix, Arizona. The elegant line of abstract A's and reverse triangles form a 9'/ 10' section from the original 65' entrance railing to the Arizona Biltmore hotel in Phoenix, Arizona. The railing was fabricated in the metal shop of the local rehabilitation hospital by recovering WWI veterans. A section of this railing is in the collection of the Wolfsonian. An interesting architectural element from an iconic architectural site.

  • Rare Warren McArthur Arizona Biltmore Era Lounge Chair and Ottoman C. 1931
    By Warren McArthur, Warren McArthur Corporation
    Located in Camden, ME
    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...

    By Aaron Saxton, History Never Repeats
    Located in South Charleston, WV
    Model HNRCED Sunburst Atomic Made to order by History Never Repeats LLC. Custom produced here in the United States. 84" tall x 72" is the common measurement but we can produce in any size, single or double. The video shows a door with hardware and a smooth textured paint that highlights what is possible for your door with a custom paint selected by the client and produced by Benjamin Moore using Aura Exterior. The customer also had us install a peephole as well and we incorporated this into the vertical bar. High quality construction with the best hinges, woods and hardware that can be used. All hand made. The key to the doors is the use of old Appalachian oaks to produce hard and strong door jambs with our material sourced through local yards and the woods all selected. Critical to a quality door is the true Stave Lumber Core construction which is as good as a wood door can be; strong and resistant to movement using either oak, poplar or pine depending upon the environment. Price includes the entire assembly with door jamb, weather stripping, threshold, doors, starburst to one side of doors, deadbolt, keyed entry knobs...
