VerifiedHi There~
My name is ***** ***** I would be happy to help with your question.
What pieces are in your bedroom set?
Would it be possible for you to send me more photos? Each of the pieces and clear, close-ups of the labels.
When taking a clear close-up try using the macro function on your camera. It looks like a small flower icon. This will allow sharper focus at a closer-range.
When evaluating an item, photos are essential to helping me come to a correct assessment.
If there is a toolbar with a paperclip icon showing above the box where you type in responses, then follow the steps on this link for sharing photos:
http://ww2.justanswer.com/how-do-i-send-photo-or-file-expert
I look forward to seeing the images. If you are unable to send photos right away, that is fine – there is not a time limit here.
Sincerely,
Nora

Nora:
Here are a few more shots. I have taken the bed apart so it is not set up but I have included a picture of the foot board and legs. I hope the tags are clear enough.

Hi Rick~
Thank you for your patience.
Your bedroom suite was made during the first quarter of the 20th century by Mount Airy Furniture in Mt Airy, North Carolina, an early furniture making company established in 1888.
The design is a 'modern' interpretation of the French Louis XV style. The rounded foot boards were quite popular at the time.
The labels establish that after manufacture, there were shipped by boat to a store in Washington State.
On today's market, the set would sell for an average of $800 - $1200.
Currently, the 'popular' decorating trend is to re-paint these with chalk or milk paint in light colors such as blue or white. When properly re-painted, they tend to sell for double.
Please note that experts here are not employees of justanswer.com, experts are verified users who are only paid by the company when you leave a favorable rating.
