It's French, early 19th century, known as "Charles X" style- a great bargain, and most definitely a good investment. I would most likely tent the room in a blue and ivory stripe, using the same material for the bed coverlet- so that the teenager using the space could grow into it, and then, when he moves out (if he ever does) it could be used for a guest bedroom. I do think a trip up to Maine is in order-
would love to visit friends from PB there- here is the address for Ric Jorgensen in case you go- 502 Post Road, US Rte 1, Wells, Maine 04090 www.rjorgensen.com telephone (207) 646-9444 Enjoy! DF *****
