Description: Lovely Victorian faux bamboo birds eye maple bedroom suite attributed to R. J. Horner, NYC. 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!
