About Us - Tropical Sun Rattan

Tropical Sun Rattan Company was originally founded in 1934 as part of a larger outdoor company in Pasadena, California. In 1972 it was purchased by the owner of a shop called Harvey’s Antiques (est. 1969), and moved into one of the first retail spots on the now famous shopping district of Melrose Boulevard in Hollywood. We’ve been a fixture of the Los Angeles home furnishings community for over 45 years – manufacturing rattan furniture to order and dealing in great vintage rattan pieces, along with wonderful original tropical fabrics, artwork, and rugs.

In that time we have assembled the world's largest collection of vintage Rattan and Tropical décor in the world with over 25,000 square feet of inventory. Some of Hollywood's biggest stars and productions buy and rent from us! From celebrities like Nicolas Cage, Barbra Streisand, and Madonna, to films like the Godfather and TV shows like the Golden Girls and Veep, we’re everyone’s first call. In 1999 our president Harvey Schwartz wrote a book on Rattan and Tropical décor titled "Rattan: Tropical Comfort Throughout the House" by Schiffer Publishing. When looking for Vintage Rattan and Tropical Décor for your home, or home away from home, look no further than us for the biggest selection with some of the foremost experts!
