Item Description
This table has significant historical provenance being owned by Anna Lindsey Perry-Fiske of Anna's Ranch in Waimea. It is thought to be East Indian Rosewood with stunning art deco lines and twin columnar pedestal bases. It measures 5 feet x 40" but can expand to 9 feet with the included leaves for your large family/friends get-togethers. With a furniture of this craftsmanship it was most likely originally bought at Gump's of Honolulu or Grossman Moody's--the only high-end furniture stores in Honolulu at that time. Bring the history of Hawaii into your home with this priceless piece.
Born at the turn of the 20th century in the year 1900 Anna was raised in the Island ranching lifestyle, learning to ride, rope, mend fences, and tend cattle at a young age while also mastering the decorum and etiquette necessary to young ladies of her day. Upon the death of her father, William M.S. Lindsey, in 1939 Anna took over the family ranch, then known as Lindsey Ranch, implementing innovative ranching practices and introducing new breeds of cattle, Brahma and Charolais, to Hawai'i, garnering her title as “The First Lady of Ranching”.
Anna lived a long exciting life living to the age of 95, full of adventures and achievements rarely matched by her contemporaries. One of Hawai’i’s finest pa'u riders, an award winning jockey and one who could throw amazing social events to raise funds for the community, a rare woman in any era but especially so in her lifetime!~ annaranch.org
