How 'deep' is it?
How about a side view with something in the pic to give us scale and a back view?
Don.....

Thanks; now can you determine its purpose?

pretty piece BHG.To me the style looks like it could be from the 1920s or 30s but that is my own humble opinion of course, lol.Its interesting the way it gets wider at the top.

its a fold out bed the decorative crown mold at the top is actually the footboard...

 

[CoilyGirl]

Can you fold it out for us and show us how it works? It's nap time.

I will out of town right now... :-)

I'd say 1890-1910 era. It's a Murphy bed. It may have had a piece at the back top (now missing) with a small mirror, that was common.

If you want to date it, I suggest moving slowly...no need to rush. Maybe subtle hints about things in common. Maybe take in a movie. Find out what you and the furniture have in common and go from there.

My uneducated by highly regarded opinion puts it around 1750 France. Notice the flur de li pattern in the hardware and carvings. The oval carving was also common to a fellow by the name of Malard ( hinse his egg shaped makers mark as in a mallard duck egg). So that's what I'm going with.

Victorian era to Turn of the century... more photos would be nice..

Has an Edwardian, early-mid 1910s look to my eye. The decorative elements look less contrived and more subtle than earlier Victorian stuff, but what do I know. Cool find.
