Original American "Cowboy Ranch Oak" Step Table by A. Brandt
About the Item
Dust; cactus; broncos; branding. A long, lonely trail; cowboy ditties sung to the soft sound of a guitar around a campfire. Thirst; Indians, both hostile and friendly; pine trees set against lofty mountains. This was the world of the brave men and women who brought civilization to the West, making their own trails, building history, building homes in a hostile environment, creating rustic ranch furniture from whatever materials were at hand.
Ranch Life
Around the turn of the century, Buffalo Bill Cody's 'Wild West Show' captured the imagination of the civilized world with its portrayal of the excitements and hardships of ranch life in the West. This lifestyle has continued to hold a place in the hearts of those who long for adventure, for solitude, for the beauty of an unspoiled environment, and for the chance to live life to the full using initiative and courage.
Ranch Pole and Plank Furniture
The great American heritage of the Wild West was continued in the 'dude ranches' that became popular in the early part of the 20th century. Entrepreneurs of this period such as Carl Dunrud created pole and plank furniture in the style of the pioneers for these ranches, and unwittingly began a great tradition in American furniture. Popular ranch resorts such as Kings Ranch used the styles of the furniture ranch hands built by hand in the Wild West era.
Ranch Furniture Origins
In 1931, American furniture designer Thomas Molesworthy created a popular range of upmarket Ranch Style furniture, borrowing ideas from the Craftsman style, as well as the Eastern Lodge style. Emphasizing quality of materials and workmanship, Molesworthy created a functional and attractive style of his own which was soon copied by other manufacturers.
Brandt Ranch Oak Furniture
Molesworthy's originals were handcrafted and expensive. Popular demand for this type of American furniture at a more affordable price gave rise to the Brandt Ranch Oak furniture range. A. Brandt of Fort Worth began producing well-made, solid, comfortable ranch-style furniture in the late 1930's. Made from white oak, finished with white wax, and often bearing western motifs such as wagon wheels or bucking broncos, Brandt Ranch Oak furniture was built to last a lifetime. This Texas ranch furniture was an instant success. The spacious Ranch Style homes then becoming popular were the ideal setting for A. Brandt Ranch Oak furniture: Bunk beds, spacious oak dressers, wide, low-set, padded arm chairs, and gleaming solid oak dining tables. The Brandt Oak factory closed in 1988, and examples of its Texas ranch style furniture have become sought-after collector's items.
Ranch Decor
Ranch style decor is all about space, natural materials, and plenty of solid, good quality American wood, such as oak, pine or hickory. Light, honey-colored finishes predominate. Ranch style furniture is functional, comfortable and hardwearing, as well as being attractive, especially when offset by stonework fireplaces, warm colored soft furnishings, and Western accessories. 1940's ranch oak furniture is not only an attractive way to furnish your home; it is also an investment, since it is durable and likely to continue increasing in value and collectibility.

By A. Brandt Ranch Oak Furniture
Located in Topeka, KS
Awesome vintage rustic Ranch Oak step end table with two drawers & Acorn Brown finish by A. Brandt. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. Back was missing for the drawered upper section and a new back was put in place and stained to match. Had a water ring that was repaired with restore-a-finish. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Mid-20th -Late-20th Century.
Rugged, Rustic, and Ranch Oak!! This is a SUPERB vintage step end table by A. Brandt comprised of a rustic solid ranch oak frame with an Acorn Brown finish that is signature to A. Brandt Company furniture. The all-over woodgrain is outstanding, and the finish is gorgeous. The step cube or box has two drawers with square wood pulls, and it has wonderful farm or country style legs with pegs through the tabletop… a cool detail! Can’t you just see this table amongst the décor in the Yellowstone Ranch?? We sure can!! Obviously, this step end table will be beautiful at the end of your comfy sofa with an antler base lamp or western style table lamp of any kind. But it would also be wonderful in a rustic style sitting room beside your favorite chair with books, a plant, or some cactus. Or in your rustic mountain cottage in a sitting room or sunroom next to a loveseat or daybed. The possibilities are endless because of its versatility and overall simplistic beauty.
