Please let me know if you have any idea as to the worth of these items. They are currently located in New Jersey.
Re: Early 20th century Mahogany Bedroom set
Sadly the value for thes late 20's to early 30's sets have tumbled in the last 10 years, they last peaked in value back in the late 1980's. These sets tend to be a mix of antique styles, construction is generally maple cases with walnut or mahogany veneers. Right now at auction whole sets often sell for under $250.00.
Re: Early 20th century Mahogany Bedroom set
Thanks so much for taking a look. We were pretty sure that the construction was as you described with the mahogany veneer. Our expectation was that these wouldn't be worth much, which you seem to have confirmed.
