[QUOTE="Wnelson251, post: 1273443, member: 13014"]Hello all! I am new to the forum and am hoping someone can give me some direction on how to determine the age of some furniture I recently procured. I purchased an antique bedroom set (photos attached) from an older lady that I work with who had a storage unit she suddenly needed to empty on short notice. She had the storage unit for years and I bought several pieces of furniture because I thought they were beautiful. I consider myself an amateur collector at most and know very little about specific types or brands of antique furniture. The "Romweber" bedroom set consists of three identical "nightstands", two identical full size beds, a dresser, and a vanity (with mirror). This is what I am primarily interested in learning about. The previous owner advised me that the furniture is rare and made by "Romweber" which I had never heard of. There is a badge on the inside of the dresser that supports this statement. I bought the furniture based off of its looks and after finding a few pieces of Romweber furniture online in my research, it appears that the amount I paid (less than $700) was shockingly low. Im not complaining! I have been able to find ZERO reference material online that could assist me with determining the age of this furniture. Also, I have not been able to find a single image of any Romweber (or "American Furniture Co.") furniture that is similar to what I have found. ANY information or guidance will be greatly appreciated!!![/QUOTE]
