Vantage Old World 4-Piece Queen Bedroom Set in Medium Cherry

From the carved shell crowning the top of the ornate headboard to the sunburst pattern of book matched cherry veneer on the footboard, the Old World Eastern queen estate bed is a statement-making interpretation of traditional European design. Beautifully integrated into the Old World collection, the bed's headboard and footboard feature picture frame carving, inlaid cross banding and carved molding in a neoclassical bead-and-bobbin motif, all signatures of the Old World collection's dramatic case pieces. The bed's four posts are finished with hand carved newel tops and side rails are a generous 14-1/2 in. wide, fully dressed with shaped moldings and fancy face veneers. One modern touch, the footboard is purposely near bedding height to make television viewing easy. In addition to the queen size, the Old World estate bed is available in king and California king sizes. As practical as it is beautiful, the elegantly contoured nine-drawer Old World drawer dresser features felt lining on the top drawers and aromatic cedar lining on the bottom drawers. A inlaid sunburst design on the dresser's top, executed in cathedral cherry and exotic avoider veneers, is one of the handsome design signatures of the Old World collection. The sunburst is set off with a fine herringbone inlaid border and the entire piece is richly embellished with carving in the classical tradition. The dresser is finished in a rich and warm pomegranate shade that has both depth and clarity to allow the natural beauty of the wood graining to shine through. Burnished edges, hand rubbed fronts and machine rubbed tops reinforce the Old World feeling of this collection. The dramatic arched bonnet top of the Old World collection crowned landscape mirror is embellished with a sculpturally carved shell and scroll motif and inset with beautifully finished figured veneers. The mirror's classical motifs are signatures of the Old World collection and echo the designs of the collection's estate bed and armoire. Other rich details include canted pilasters featuring traditional acanthus carvings, bead and bobbin accent molding, burnished edges and hand-rubbed fronts, fitted back panels and one inch-thick beveled glass mirror. The frame's satiny medium cherry finish is in a rich, warm pomegranate shade that matches the rest of the collection and showcases the beauty of the wood. The three-drawer Old World bedside chest pairs beautifully with both the Old World sleigh bed and the Old World estate bed. A hidden storage niche under the top can be slid forward from the top drawer, the drawers themselves are built with traditional dovetail construction. The hand rubbed pomegranate finish on the bedside chest's richly carved embellishments has both depth and clarity, the drawer fronts and chest top are decorated with matched veneers.
