It could possible have come from Holland but we're not too sure. Has been in storage for a long time.
My mom bought this at an antique mall in Granbury, TX in the early 90s. I don't know how much she paid. It appears to be veneer. It has beautiful inlay work on the footboard. It was gold so I started to refinish it. I don't know if it was originally gold or painted later. I got impatient(as teenagers do) and only did the front. I'm downsizing my home and wanted to sell it, but don't know anything about it(age, wood, maker, etc.) or its worth.
