Description: Stylish two piece walnut Renaissance Revival Victorian bedroom
suite. Both pieces have a highly ornate top crest featuring open carvings,
raised burled panels, incised carvings, applied carved buttons, and large
fancy finials. Both the head and foot boards have three large raised shaped
burled panels in the middle. The side rails have large fancy returns at
each end and are ornate in keeping with the overall design of the bed. The
bed is a tight full size 54"W x 77"L between the rails. The original mirror
on the dresser is flanked by raised burled panels and a round candle shelf
supported by a lovely carved sculpted urn on each side. It even has the old
diamond dust sparkle that we sometimes see on old mirrors. There are three
original white marbles on the drop center base. Two smaller drawers are on
each side of the mirror and a large full length drawer, along with a secret
drawer, make up the base. The two top drawers have birdseye maple interiors
- an indication of superior quality. The drawer fronts are decorated with
raised burled panels and have the original fancy tear drop pulls. Each of
the sides is covered with a rounded burled veneer. Most of the Victorian
suites of this quality are considerably larger. This has most of the
desirable features of the larger suites and yet will fit in most any
home!
