The style of the bed is Henri Deux , we have it at our home to.
It was a complete set of a bed 2 side cabinets, wich were meant fore
a pisspot , or in Dutch a nachtspiegel, and a large cabinet for hanging clothes in with 2 mirror doors.
The time is 1910 -1920, a complete set you can buy now for about 2500 Euro .

Looking at the dirt and imprint on the coverlet it looks as though maybe a stray kitty or some other small animal has been sleeping here. We used to have a "shop cat" in a warehouse I worked in years ago that would sneak inside to sleep on the sofa in my office. She left a dirty mark like that.

And the Mama bear says "who's been sleeping in my bed?" LOL.
It certainly looks like someone has been there pretty recently.

The black level was a shutter to cut the light off. As the bulb could not turn on and off quickly, the shutter was used for quick cuts.

The bedroom furniture is in excellent condition. With a little TLC it would be worth a pretty penny.

OK - so they must have had children to play with those blocks.
Where did they all go?? It's a mystery.......

What is that in the back room? A water pitcher or some sort?
It looks to be in great condiition!

Kind of sad if you think about it. You live your life, you pass on and no one cares!! if makes a very interesting find though.
Here in the U.S. the city or county would have taken the property for back taxes long ago and bulldozed everything.

What a wonderful old desk! I'd bet with a little cleaning and some oil rubbed into it that old wood will shine like new. I would love to have that in my office.

Great pic!!There appear to be cobwebs in the far corners near the door. Obviously no one has been in there in quite awhile! Another lovely light fixture as well Mica! These would have have stayed in tact this long in the U.S. Someone would have picked it clean by now!

Today our family had th epleasure to walk back through time to the great American manufacturing revolution. We absolutely enjoyed visiting the Bethlehem site and came home to reseach more on the history. Your photos put a wonderful finish to the day. Thank you!

The photo brings about strong feelings that if I had to navigate the stairs while I was drunk, I would end up with broken bones. You do have a wonderful gift of bringing out the artistic qualities in things, Motts. I have been enjoying your website for years. Please keep them coming!

I agree. The craftsmanship in this fireplace and the pillars is incredible- what beautiful work! Its too bad it is sitting there going to waste.
