Handsome late Victorian two piece mahogany bedroom suite. It
consists of a larger than full size bed (58"W x 77"L between the rails) and
a dresser with an original reddish brown Tennessee marble. Both pieces have
a deeply carved crest featuring oak leaves, acorns, and berries.

Richly
carved curved moldings are above and below this band of carving. Floral and
leaf carvings and rope twist columns adorn the bed and mirror frame. The
dresser has a beveled bulls eye round mirror which is attractively echoed in
an inset round figured mahogany panel in the bed. The siderails on the bed
have tall returns at each end with turnings, raised panels, and carvings.
The bed has the original fancy double castors that elevates it just off the
floor. The dresser has an unusual base arrangement with three drawers over
two center drawers and a cupboard on either side. The original cast brass
hardware is especially nice with a face in the middle. The two top side
drawers have the original velvet liners (some staining to the fabric). The
twist columns, various carved motifs, round mirror/panel design, fabulous
hardware, deep carved moldings, and marble are all signs of the superb
quality and craftsmanship of this suite. The bed is between queen and full
size giving it the extra room that most beds of this period don't have.
