Description There is a 5-drawer dresser, a vanity with mirror and bench, (both of which are shown in the pictures, and an accompanying bed frame with foot and head boards and side boards- headboard has "soft" scroll cutout and has a slight curvature of the fascia at the top- not ornate. The stamp of the craftsman at his woodworking bench is stamped into one of the drawers. I don't have number identification at this time, but could look more extensively if needed.

Re: Bedroom Ensemble

Limbert furniture is valuable...for your quest... http://www.arts-crafts.com/archive/limbert.shtml & http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/MIOTTAWA/2000-09/0968513166 Van Raalte was a salesman and later head of the Limbert Furniture company from 1916 to at least 1927. He was so influential within the company that in the mid-1920s the company's furniture mark was redesigned to read "Limbert Furniture by Van Raalte Craftsmen." The Limbert company, which started out in Grand Rapids, was moved to Holland in 1906 where it continued to make furniture under the Limbert name until 1944. This company's furniture was extremely popular in the early 20th century and is still sought after by collectors of fine furniture designs in the Arts and Crafts and Colonial Revival styles.
