19C French Empire Style Complete Bedroom Set - Outstanding

About the Item

PRESENTING AN ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING 19C French Empire Style Style Complete Bedroom Suite/Set. HIGHLY, IMPORTANT AND UNIQUE Empire Style Bedroom Suite or Set from circa 1880. The Suite/Set is almost completely original, save the bed, which was originally twin size, but professionally commissioned to be customized and converted into a Euro King Size for modern practicality. The quality of the conversion matches the quality of the suite/set. All pieces have gilt bronze mounted fittings; beautiful patina, beautiful parquetry; beautiful carrara marble tops, simply stunning! About 10 years ago, I saw the ‘identical twin’ of the Commode in an Antique Store on Central Park in New York, however it had a less desirable green marble top (IMHO), and they were looking for 30k USD for the Commode, on its OWN! This Suite/Set is SO GOOD that it is the main exhibit in our rear Showroom. Not marked but under the marble top of the commode there are 2 signatures in pencil (1) M. Le Youters (?) and (2) M. Daneels. You will NOT find another complete suite/set like this ANYWHERE! AS A BONUS: We have curated and sourced (recently) a Pair of Monumental French Empire Wall Sconces which are a ‘PERFECT’ match for this bedroom set! (See pics) These sconces are being sold separately BUT they really COMPLETE the entire bedroom! The Suite/Set includes: European King Size Bed (Headboard, Baseboard, side panels and central support bracket). 2 Matching Bedside Lockers with original white carrara marble tops. Matching Large Armoire/Wardrobe with original mirrors. Matching Wall/Dressing/Trumeau Mirror Matching Commode with original carrara marble top. Provenance: Bought privately by us from a reputable high-end dealer in Ireland over 20 years ago. Dimensions: Bed: 74 inches Wide, 81 inches Long and 12 inches high to mattress base Headboard : 51 inches tall Baseboard is 37 inches tall Wardrobe: 79 inches Wide, 89 inches Tall and 24 inches Deep Commode: 33 inches tall, 49 inches Wide and 23.5 inches Deep Night Stands: Each: 30.25 inches Tall, 16.25 inches Wide and 14.75 inches deep Wall Mirror: 76 inches Tall and 43.5 inches Wide Condition: Very good condition throughout. One chip to a corner of the armoire mirror but not serious. One crack to the top corner of the other side. Some crazing to the main mirror through age.
