This drawer front in the first photo is from a bedroom set that stands as an outstanding example of the craftsmanship and artistic work in design, construction, carving, and finishing available at the turn of the 20th century. This 1904 complete set (#1237) was purchased from the floor of the … Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904 after winning a grand prize in its category by our client's grandfather. It remained in their family from that day.

The set shwon in the second photo was the ìsampleî or model set photographed by Nelson-Matter Furniture Company of Grand Rapids, MI for their 45th annual catalog published in 1905.
