The Robert W. Irwin Company resulted from the merger of the Phoenix Furniture Company, founded in 1870, and the Royal Furniture Company, organized in 1892. Robert W. Irwin came to Grand Rapids in 1889 from Harbor Beach to join the Grand Rapids School Furniture Co. (later American Seating Company). Within two years Irwin was named factory superintendent and purchasing agent. Irwin resigned in 1900, and with A.W. Hompe and Ralph P. Tietsort, purchased
the Royal Furniture Company. In 1907 the same three partners with Eber W. Irwin, Robert's brother, bought the New England Furniture Co. Robert Irwin then organized the Steele Furniture Co., and later in association with another brother, Earle S. Irwin, and A.W. Hompe acquired the business of the Macey Co. In 1911, Robert W. Irwin, Charles H. Bender, James W. Wylie, Dudley E. Waters and Ralph Tietsort purchased the Phoenix Furniture Company.
In 1920, Robert W. Irwin acquired controlling interest in both the Phoenix and Royal furniture companies, and under his name consolidated them into one company. The Royal line was continued. But, under the designation of "custom", as the Royal Furniture since 1915 had consisted of custom made reproductions, sold through galleries as works of the furniture art. During the 1920s the company flourished, due in no small part to the introduction of the Pendleton" line of furniture. The Pendleton Line was based on the custom line, but made to be less expensive for the working classes.
In 1931 the company bought and merged with Cooper-Williams, Inc. of Boston, another quality furniture company. The Company continued to hold its place through the 1930s. In 1951, Irwin, as owner of all stocks except small blocks held by the Earle Irwin and Eber Irwin estates, and a few individuals, sold the company to a group of Cincinnati businessmen headed by Abe Byer, president of American Compressed Steel Co. In 1953, the Company discontinued operations

- Brown Saltman Solid Walnut End Table with Burl Walnut InsetBy Brown Saltman, John KealLocated in Soquel, CABrown Saltman Solid Walnut End Table with Burl Walnut Inset Elegant end table designed by John Keal and manufactured by Brown Saltman. This piece is clean and modern, which highlights the gorgeous burl of the top. It will fit well with a variety of decor and design choices. 15"H x 18"D x 18"W At a time when many furniture makers were turning to cheaper materials for mass production, mid-century modern designer John Keal didn't shy away from utilizing quality woods in his work, like mahogany and walnut to create his coffee tables, cabinets and benches. While little is known about Keal, he was part of a powerhouse group that collaborated with Los Angeles furniture manufacturer Brown-Saltman in the 1940s and ‘50s. Other designers who had partnered with the firm during the mid-20th century included Greta Magnusson Grossman, Paul Frankl, Paul Laszlo, and Gilbert Rohde, a New York City-born designer who would help legendary Michigan furniture manufacturer Herman Miller avert financial disaster during the Great Depression. Brown-Saltman was established in 1923 and initially specialized in reproductions of furniture in period styles. When cofounder David Saltman met Frankl, the firm had discontinued its Early California collection and was producing modern furniture. Keal’s work also fit snugly into what we now call California modernism, which derived from the Bauhaus and International Style movements, and revolutionized the way we build homes today, not only in the Golden State but across the globe. Keal created sleek end tables...Category
