Vintage Brass

When did the Irwin furniture company produce the Pendleton style furniture?

I have a vintage round table with a brass plate inside the drawer that says “Irwin” with the word “Pendleton” above it. I’m having a hard time locating information about it. I have already checked Ebay……..

The manufacturer is the Robert W. Irwin Co of Grand Rapids. Robert Irwin started his company in 1919 when he acquired and combined Phoenix Furniture and Royal Furniture into one entity. Pendleton is the name of a custom line of furniture introduced by Irwin in 1940. It was made until Irwin went out of business in 1953 and the name was sold to Sterling of New york.
