Description: Fantastic four piece Victorian walnut marble top bedroom suite.
There are fully carved cupids on the footboard and headboard of the bed
along with the top of the dresser. The bed and dresser have matching
massive three dimensionally carved crests. Burled elm columns decorate the
front of the headboard and sides of the mirror on the dresser. There are
lovely carved finials on the posts of the headboard. The bed is a bit
smaller than queen size with inside dimensions of 58"W x 78.5"L between the
rails. Queen size is 60"W x 80"L. You could either purchase a custom box
spring and mattress or use a full size one (54" x 74") which would still
give you the extra width and length. The side rails on the bed have large
returns at both ends. Each of the pieces features raised shaped burled
panels, applied buttons, and extensive carvings with original gilt highlights.
Each of the case pieces has good original white marbles, ornately carved
pulls and - a very special feature - satinwood interiors in all of the
drawers. Some of the dresser drawers even have compartmentalized interiors
which would be very useful to store jewelry, brushes, etc. The dresser has
a candle cup on each side of the original mirror and a drop center
configuration which makes it a very handy dressing mirror. Both the half
commode and full commode have original marble splash backs. This is a
complete suite and is of superb quality, condition, and design! The cupid
carvings, substantial size, details, and quality of construction (satin wood
interiors) make this one of the best suites we have offered for sale!
