Hello All,
My father was stationed in Okinawa for the Korean War. He often traveled to Hong Kong. As a benefit of his travels there, we have a number of pieces of rosewood furniture from the Majestic Furniture Company. It's showroom was located in the Miramar Arcade at one time. The factory was on Kimberly Road.
He would have purchased these pieces in the early 1950's...around 52' or 53'. I've alway wanted to see a photo of the shop but have been unable to find it. As most of Kowloon near Nathan Road was redeveloped after those years, I'm sure the only vestiges of this shop are the furniture items. I'd appreciate it if you can offer any information or advice on how to find it.
Many thanks!
Tim
