Carved Mahogony Bedroom Suite

View attachment 46893 Would like info about this set.... thank you

 

Hi,
Welcome to the board. They look like 1960s but it would help to show a drawer side so the dovetails could be checked. Otherwise it is just a guess when they were made. Are there name tags on the inside of a drawer? Really more information is needed to help with an ID.

Hi Greg,
was told by the seller that the set was made between 1920-1925 in the US.
There are no name tags on any of the pieces. The bed has P stamp on the inside left and PP on the right for assembly purpuse i assume. A serial number is also stamped on the head&foot board.
All timber is solid including back panels of dresser&bedsides.

 

Answered your post in the antiques section. Said I didn't think it was American and probably 60s or later. Even with these new detail pics, I don't see anything that would convince me otherwise. Some better pics of drawer construction would be helpful, as would a shot inside the case without drawers in it. I would also like a closer look at those fasteners on the back side of that chest. The solid construction including backs just doesn't fit with this being American made unless made by a small cabinet shop. The sophistication of the woodwork would probably rule this out in most cases.

 

Here are some more detailed pictures.

 

If you bought this for yourself to use, it is a very nice set. You cannot go to a store and buy solid wood furniture anymore.

As to age, I'll leave that to Brad.

& the lack of any proof to back that up.......not a seller I would trust !

 

I'd guess not American either; the dovetails are wrong, if nothing else. The secondary wood on the drawer bottoms isn't right either. No clue where it's actually from.

 

Not made like any American furniture from a factory that I have ever seen. The all mahogany construction inside and out makes me think Indonesian from the last 30-years or so. Plus it is not the type of mahogany we would see in 20s American furniture. In Indonesia, they use a plantation grown mahogany that looks like this. The drop pull is a standard pull that is widely available now. The circle pulls are Sheraton in style but seem a bit crude and maybe nickel? Typically, this type of pull would be in brass. It is a well made set but nothing about it adds up to it being 20s American.

 

Many thanks for the replies, especially to verybrad!
