Help me identify / age piece.

Pieces are in Ontario Canada. One story I was told suggested immigrants brought the pieces with them from Italy, but may be a myth.

Wood appears to be elm. Care was taken to match colors.

This is one of the side tables for a bedroom set currently stored. I have been told all the pieces match and are in just as good condition as the one pictured. 6 piece set consists of:

2 night stands (one shown)
44 in H X 20 in W X 14.5 in D

4 drawer dresser with mirror
70 in H X 49 in W X 23 in D

Dressing table
67 in H X 57 in W X 15.5 in D

Headboard
69 in H X 58 in W X 2 in D

Footboard
41 in H X 58 in W X 2.5 in D



The mattress is 54" x 84" (so definitely pre 1925 when bed sizes started to standardize.


I am no expert, and some of the clues seem to contradict each other. I am thinking 1850.

Although I have no intentions on selling the set, interested to know if worth anything.

What are thoughts on modernizing the set? The mirrors are in poor shape (need resilvering) and cutting down the bed rails would allow a standard Double XL to fit nicely.

Piece is located in eastern Canada and it is thought that the set was a family heirloom brought from Europe pre WW1, but no one is absolutely sure. There are no manufactiurer markings of any kind on the piece.
