[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 3554429, member: 5170"]Hi Josh: You've done a fine job with the photos, as Aquitaine mentioned. I regret taking away your one fact, but Johnny is right, these are not Empire. More like 1920s Neo-Art Deco bedroom furniture, with walnut and other stained hardwoods. Unlike most manufactured goods, furniture did not usually have a tag or manufacturer's stamp until fairly recently, so in the absence of same you are unlikely to find out who made this set. However, that's not really important; this is a beautiful group in great condition, likely to last another hundred years with minimal care. Although antique brown furniture is still in the cellar as far as value goes, you will not find a new set of furniture at 3 times the worth of this set that is even a fraction as nice. Since most of us need bedroom furniture as long as we have bedrooms, I'd recommend keeping these pieces.[/QUOTE]
