ANTIQUE Art Deco Biedermeier STYLE birdseye Maple Bedroom Set bed dresser MCM:
$895.75

AntiqueFrench Art Deco Biedermeier styledrestored 5 piece Birds Eye maple bedroom set with EBONY (black) accents... afull sized bed (Queen beds did not exist at the time this set was made).

THE LAST 2 PHOTOS showing you what it USED TO look like 15 years ago before the restoration were just deleted today 10/25/2016 as it was probably causing buyer confusion for people looking at thepictures before reading the description. :p?

This is currently a drastic price reduction from the original price listing here on back in November of 2015which was over $6,000 !

This set consists of everything you see here... 5 gorgeous hand made pieces ! This is an ANTIQUE Luce Furniture Company made set out of Grand Rapids, Michigan which was refinished and restored professionally in circa2000 and until the day of this initiallisting... was the possession of a local interior designer. You get the tall chest of drawers... the wall mirror... the vanity and the vanity bench along with the gorgeous bed... headboard/footboard and side rails. No night stand.


This is all maple or thick maple veneer (see the open drawer photo)... and a kind of bird\'s eye maple with lots of character in the grain. I would say that in person the bedroom set is a shade or two blonder on the maple parts... not quite as golden orangey as many of the photos seem to indicate due to late afternoon sun flooding the room during the photo session.

The bedroom set must predate 1938 but exact age is not known and the company that produced it was out of business by 1938. I think 1900-1932 is the appropriate time period. In addition to the photos a furniture tag comes with this....if it doesn\'t \"get lost\" in the interim- LUCE furniture company - Grand Rapids Michigan. Drawers are rightly dove tailed and have oak sides and bottoms !

This quality is just unheard of today... and the restorerput a lot of love into this project as I caneven see it on the insides of thecabinets when you pull the drawers out... with new stops and glides added to the original interior.

How do you put a value on this ? Priced reasonably for Quick sale !

Similar pieces on seem to be priced much higher and many lack the quality and elegance of this collection. :)Almost no wear from useafter the restoration. I thought the set was \"new\" upon seeing it for the first time asthe quality refinishing work was was done so well. :) Mirror is 36\" x 24\" .... chest of drawers is 20\" x 34\" x 46\" high. The vanity is approx. 42\" x 18\" x 30.5\" high. The headboard is approx. 57\" x 38\" and the rails are approx. 3 or 4 inches PAST 6 feet in length. The stool isapprox. 24.5\" x 15.5\" x 21\" high.

Buy it for this price andresellon the East or West coast for $$$ !

On over 18 years.:)PICK IT UP YOURSELF or SEND YOUR FAVORITE SHIPPER/MOVER !!! I will workwith you and your shipper. Also...if you need me to FIND you a shipper.....I do have one to provide you with a quote and it is rather expensive. I can get you aquote within 24 hours.

If you want me to send these separately through FED EX or Greyhound I can do that for approx. $750.00 for everything you see here. :) This is also an option.

For a professional furniture mover (everything on one truck)... the one I frequently use... they would charge approx. $1,275 for shipping.

ABOUT offerERMEIER FURNITURE from Wikki: - Biedermeier was an influential German style of furniture design that evolved during the years 1815–1848. The period extended into Scandinavia, as disruptions due to numerous states that made up the German nation were not unified by rule from Berlin until 1871. [These post-Biedermeier struggles, influenced by historicism, created their own styles. Throughout the period, emphasis was kept upon clean lines and minimal ornamentation consistent with Biedermeier\'s basis in utilitarian principles. As the period progressed, however, the style moved from the early rebellion against Romantic-era fussiness to increasingly ornate commissions by a rising middle class, eager to show their newfound wealth. The idea of clean lines and utilitarian postures would resurface in the 20th century, continuing into the present day. Middle- to late-Biedermeier furniture design represents a heralding towards historicism and revival eras long sought for. Social forces originating in France would change the artisan-patron system that achieved this period of design, first in the Germanic states and, then, into Scandinavia. The middle class growth originated in the English industrial revolution and many Biedermeier designs owe their simplicity to Georgian lines of the 19th century, as the proliferation of design publications reached the loose Germanic states and the Austro-Hungarian empire.

The Biedermeier style was a simplified interpretation of the influential French Empire Style of Napoleon I, which introduced the romance of ancient Roman Empire styles, adapting these to modern early 19th-century households. Biedermeier furniture used locally available materials such as cherry, ash and oak woods rather than the expensive timbers such as fully imported mahogany. Whilst this timber was available near trading ports such as Antwerp, Hamburg and Stockholm, it was taxed heavily whenever it passed through another principality. This made mahogany very expensive to use and much local cherry and pearwood was stained to imitate the more expensive timbers. Stylistically, the furniture was simple and elegant. Its construction utilised the ideal of truth through material, something that later influenced the Bauhaus and Art Deco periods.
