The suite consists of a bed that is
between full and queen size (57"W x 78"L between the rails), a dresser with
mirror, and side cabinet. The bed has four horizontal posts on each end with
two large ones in the headboard. There are open spindles in the footboard
and headboard as well as the top of the dresser mirror and back of the
cabinet. Notice the carved beehive finials on the tops of the posts. There
are raised panels in the bed. All the panels and flat details on all three
pieces are framed by a decorative faux bamboo molding. The cabinet and
dresser have matching bar pulls. The beveled mirror on the dresser has some
silver loss. There is a brown stain in the top of the dresser and some
normal staining on the top of the cabinet. The smaller piece has a drawer
and a cupboard base. There are interior divisions in the drawer (see
photo). This entire suite - even the interior of the cupboard (see photo)
has gorgeous, vibrant, birds eye maple grain. R. J. Horner made the American
faux bamboo furniture and his concern with quality is exemplified in these
three pieces. Complete suites of American made birds eye furniture are hard
to come by!
