Description : A richly detailed antique bedroom set featuring turned finials, floral marquetry inlay, and deep paneled construction. Comprising a headboard, footboard, and side rails, this piece stands out for its burled veneer face panels, delicate inlaid floral motif, and balanced architectural detailing. The central inlay on the headboard showcases warm-toned flowers and vinework, though it has a surface crack running through the veneer—likely reparable with conservation-grade adhesive and touch-up. Other surface wear, edge dings, and scratches consistent with age are present, especially on the rails, but overall the structure remains strong. This set is full of restoration potential or makes a stunning backdrop piece as-is.
