[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 96344, member: 1136"]Dont shoot me, I dont have a picture, yet. We pick everything up Saturday, but curiosity is killing the cat. Im getting a dresser and head board/foot board of what used to be a rope bed (but someone stole the rope rails). Im pretty sure its empire by just the date my grandmas giving me and the look, but googling Im not sure. The dresser is 4 drawers, with the top drawer lipped out & serpentine with lock and key The front corners look barley twisted, but its not columns, just carved in. If Im remembering correctly the feet arent your typical C Scroll They were a little more ornate than the early bracket foot in this picture [IMG]http://www.blawnoxupholstery.com/uploads/2/3/6/8/23683678/9753616_orig.gif[/IMG] My grandmother said she got it with my great grandmother at an estate sale when she was a little girl, so Im guessing some time in the 40s. She said even then it was sold as 100 years old furniture. It had a dressing table or desk but something was spilled on it that ruined the finish so her father re-finished it for her. She said that it didnt even look like it matched anymore so she gave it to my aunt before I had any time to look at it.[/QUOTE]
