[QUOTE="JerseyDave, post: 2789745, member: 16810"][I'm new to Antiquers, and would like to become better informed about antiques.] Is this an example of Eastlake style? I can tell you it is not easy to dust, but perhaps easier than some of the other styles of the 19th century. I'm guessing walnut. I came into this furniture (bed, dresser, wardrobe) several years ago and don't have the house to properly accommodate it. It belonged to a friend who acquired it in the South and then relocated with it to the Northeast. The wardrobe is 10' tall; the bed is 8' tall and the dresser is just under 8'. The wardrobe knocks down, aside from the base and the crown. It is all in pretty good condition, save for a crack in the wood above the mirror of the dresser, that appears to have been glued not so professionally. What's to become of it? Is there a market for it, or do I break it down for its decorative elements and repurpose the wood. Thank you for your advice.[/QUOTE]
