Help with old Bedroom suit at least 50 years old!!!
« on: July 11, 2012, 11:11:41 am »
An old family member resently passed away and left behind what appears to be a full bedroom suit, its been in his home for at least 50 years and god no's how much longer, It has a few markings, try as I might I cannot make any sense of them by searching online, so was hoping someone may be able to help.

There is a dressing table, on the inside of one of the cupboards is a label reading, Tyler Ltd, Stroud Glos, Architectural woodworkers and cabinet makers.

The lock off the wardrobe reads Nico England.

On the back of the wardrobe it is burned with what appears to be a stamp..... Its a B then a heart with an S inside and then another S...Underneath that is 1960 with an underline and 2001 below that.

Hoping someone could shed some light on the history of the set and is it worth selling ect. Going to attempt to upload pictures now

Looks like a nice English art deco set ca. 1940. Probably from Gloucestershire ("Glos").

I think that the marks you describe at the end of your post are from subsequent owners. They're part of the furniture's story now.

Not terribly valuable, but a handsome legacy.

Thats correct !! Bad thing is these sets don`t sell well or for much money !! Maybe $200. to $250 USD for the whole set and thats if in excellent condition !!
