Closing : Jan-20-08 12:22:02 PST
CLICK HERE TO BID!

This was acquired out of a Central Ohio area previous estate, home or sale. WOW!!!!! First things first… what a rare to find Twin Bedroom set from the Victorian Period Marble Top Bedroom Set. In a lifetime of being in the business I have never had the opportunity to own a Twin Victorian set like you will see in the photos below. SECOND THING… Check out the dresser in almost the last photo below the bottom kick panel pulls out to be what is considered a Valuables Storage Drawer or hidden drawer. Again you will drive a long way and many miles and still not be able to find a Twin Bed like you see in the photos below. People that have them JUST DO NOT SELL THEM! We are attributing this set to Pottier & Stymus due to the curved and wrapped Footboard. However we do know that the Hunzinger Furniture Company processed and made Parlor sets, etc. with the fine Drape and Lace like this set presents below. The Headboard is 76 inches tall and 43 inches wide and the total length is 79 inches long. This will fit a box spring that is approximately 36 inches wide x 73 inches long. The marble top dresser is 93 inches tall, approx. 44 inches wide and 20 ¼ inches front to back. The mirror frame is 42 ½ inches tall x 22 ½ inches wide. The 2 Glove Box Drawers are 8 inches wide, 7 ½ inches front to back and 2 inches deep. The base is 32 inches tall. The 3 drawers with wood pulls are 38 ½ inches wide, 17 inches front to back and have depths of 4, and 7 ¼ inches deep. ALL DRAWERS ARE HAND DOVETAILED! The safe drawer in the base is 39 inches wide, 16 ½ inches front to back and 2 ¼ inches deep. As you can see in the photos below the top drawer has fine dividers and well made! You can receive a free shipping quote for this item at www.plyconvanlines.com IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A RARE TO FIND TWIN SIZE BEDROOM SET THAT IS RARELY FOUND, YOU HAVE FOUND IT!!! THESE DON'T COME UP THAT OFTEN. I'LL GUARANTEE THAT YOUR GUESTS WILL COME IN AND GO "OOOHHH" AND "AAAHHH" OVER IT. IT'S A NICE ONE, SO DON'T MISS OUT!!! There are no apologies for this item--it just needs a new owner and a new home. OHIO RESIDENTS ONLY, YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO PAY STATE SALES TAX.

THIS PIECE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE. But, if I was this old, I would have a few bumps and bruises on me as well. The majority of the furniture items that we sell are considered antique pieces which range in age from 50 to 250 years old. Some pieces will have bumps, bruises, or normal wear because of the age. Of course, you're not buying a new piece, and this item, if it has original varnish, could need a cleaning to the winning bidder's liking. You are buying this item in the condition that we receive it in. We base our expertise and knowledge on a lifetime of appraisal work in the Columbus and central Ohio area. Most items are acquired out of local estates. We are in good standing with eBay's Power Seller Group & also a member of the eBay's PLATINUM Powerseller Group

CLICK HERE TO BID!

This amazing sled measures about 15 1/2" long, 5" wide and is 5 1/2" tall to the top of the curled runners. I have owned many of these miniature sleds and I cant remember having one with a surface as nice as this one. It is a brightly colored red with a hand painted yellow rose and green leaves. The sled dates from the 1880's and is in remarkable condition. There is a tight crack to the wood starting at the middle of the sled and extending toward the tail. There are also 6 holes where something looks to have been attached to the sled. But make no mistake...this painted surface is all original. You will not be disappointed if you win this auction. In fact I dare say you wll be disappointed if you do not BUY IT NOW....
