I have some pictures of furniture I had restored at the following
website:
http://disc.cba.uh.edu/~gjohnson/furniture.htm
I would appreciate any information about the style of the furniture.
I think it was made in the 1920's - 1930's but I am not sure. It
would have been bought somewhere in New Orleans. I would like to find
some end tables, an armoire and a headboard that might at least match
the style and color if not match the furniture exactly.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks,
SMC2405
I agree with Swingman, and if your looking for something to match you better
start looking thru old antique store,
thrift shops etc. you may get lucky
By the way great restoration job
Good luck,
George

Although there are some mixtures of style since the early 1700's, I'd say
more along the lines of "Queen Anne" more than anything else ... at least
the legs and hardware give it that strong appearance.

Both sound likely. Looks like '20s bourgeois - not especially nice
copies of late 19th century French urban middle-class.
Queen Anne is much more restrained. Less gadrooning and general
gewgaws around the corners or cockbeading of the drawers.
