Bedroom suite

Description

Two of the pieces had tags still attached to them. The tags stated the following: Specialty Furniture Co., Evansville, IN. Rosenbaum & Bros., 1055 Mt Vernon, IND. We found a short article about the Specialty Furniture Co., that states it opened in 1894 and closed in 1910. We think Rosenbaum & Bros., was the department store it was shipped to.

Would like to know the style and approximate worth. Thank you for your time.

Your suite dates from the second quarter of the 20th Centuury, and like many made during that period is a mix of styles, this one tries to combine Art Deco, Sheraton with a bit of Rococo thrown into the mix. At aution suites like this generally go for $500.00  or less.
