Fantastic three piece Victorian bedroom suite attributed to Thomas Brooks, NYC! This suite is made of birdseye maple with solid rosewood decoration and moldings - a gorgeous and rare combination of two quality hard woods. The dresser and nightstand both have an original cookie corner marble, ornate carved pulls and carved and fluted corners.
The back on the nightstand is finished. The dresser has small boxes on the marble, carved key escutcheons, and a secret drawer on the bottom. The top drawer has a shaped divider and birdseye maple secondary wood an indication of quality and beauty! The mirror frame has a carved rosewood crest and candlecups on each side. Both marbles have some normal staining.

The mirror for the chest is original with the “diamond dust” settling near the bottom. The bed is larger than full size with 58″W x 78″L between the rails. It has a curved footboard and a finished back to the headboard. Their are two beautifully carved heavy finials on the headboard.

The siderails have high returns on each end and are similarly decorated with rosewood trim. The suite has some minor splits, chips and stains in the wood.
