These are three 1950 magazine advertisements for Woodard Patio Furniture made by Lee Woodard Sons, Owasso, Michigan. - Beginning in the 1930’s, the Woodard family developed the first collection of hand-crafted wrought iron furniture. This innovation marked the birth of casual outdoor furniture and ultimately led to casual furniture designs made from a variety of materials, the most prominent being cast and tubular aluminum. Most recently, Woodard added an all seasons wicker line focused on design innovation and comfort. Today, Woodard continues the tradition of hand-crafted wrought iron furniture with the same quality craftsmanship implemented by its founder. Under the flagship Woodard brand, wrought iron, cast aluminum, tubular aluminum and all seasons wicker products are manufactured using the finest materials available, state of the art finish systems, and quality control systems second to none in our industry.

Love it! My dad still has the one in the third picture. Wrought iron last forever.
Hang on to them - vintage sets are valued at between $800 up to $1500 depending on the pattern.
Thank you for the info. I will tell my dad. Do you know if they made the wrought iron coat racks?
The pattern name for the furniture in the third picture is called "Chantilly Rose".
Sorry - I don't know about the coat racks.
