HUGE REDUCTION!!! Beautiful ANTIQUE Eastlake Furniture. From the turn of the century. LOCAL PICK-UP ONLY!! My bedroom is way to small for all this big furniture, and I am getting older and it is hard to get around it all. Even hard to get good photos because of how cramped my bedroom is. I will try to get more and put them in later. INCLUDES: Bed (2 year old mattress included. Box spring not included). Dresser with lamp holders and marble top. Chest on Chest I have a night stand with a marble top that I will give with it, but it was not originally with the set (and not in as good of shape as the other pieces).

History of Eastlake Furniture: The Eastlake style of furniture was popular from roughly 1870 through the 1890s, inspired by English architect Charles Eastlake The Eastlake period of design lasted from 1870 to 1890 and was one of the many Victorian Era substyles. Eastlake furniture, normally in walnut, normally with spoon carved designs, was made primarily in the U. S. in the 1870's and 1880's. During our generally depressed market in Victorian furniture over the past 20 years, Eastlake has held up fairly well. Charles Eastlake (1836-1906) was an English architect and designer of the Victorian era. In 1868, he published a book on home furnishing called Hints on Household Taste in Furniture, Upholstery, and Other Details. The book was tremendously popular in England and made its way to the USA around 1872, where it became tremendously popular there as well. In his book, Eastlake presented a vision for home furnishings that rejected the strong curves and high relief carvings of Victorian furniture, particularly those attached to the French Baroque Revival and Second Empire styles. Instead, Eastlake presented furniture that was angular, rectilinear, and reduced to simpler geometric shapes. At the same time, he did not disavow ornamentation completely as in some country and mission styles, but reduced it to low reliefs that created less dramatic shadows. Most of the decorative elements in Eastlake's style were through geometrically shaped brackets, spindles, trestles, and other elements.
