Description
I have a bedroom suite consisting of:
one full/double Sleigh Bed - the ends are solid, curved and with no carvings
one highboy with tilt mirror - also curved on the front edges, but flat across the drawer area, there are 4 large full size drawers on the bottom part and 2 narrow taller drawers and two narrow shorter drawers in the top section, every drawer has a lock and I do have the key
one vanity with tilt mirror- with some slight chips in the surface "veneers" on front, there are three drawers that can be locked
The pieces have "normal" wear and tear but are in generally excellent shape for being from the 1900's. They were in the bedroom of my great aunt in the early 1900's and she shared it with her sister. It appears to be mahogany or walnut or some other darker wood. The is no ornate carvings on these pieces. Just some curved parts to the front edges- top to bottom, left and right.
The paper/ cardboard tag on the back of the vanity says: Sterling Furniture Company Salamanca, NY Also handwritten in what appears to be pencil is- "Stateing 9 1/2 Toona"
Any help valuing these pieces would be most appreciated.

Re: bedroom suite
Your suite is in the Empire Revival style and was made during the first quarter of the 20th century. Most are made of maple with a deep red mahogany dye stain that is very difficult to remove. Values depend on condition, at auction similar suites sell for under $800.00 in most cases.
