Question
I have inherited a complete Dixie bedroom set Poster bed (double) dresser with 3-mirrors (2-angle) with 6 drawers and a bench, 2-nightstands, a wardrobe cedar lined. this was built by the Dixie furniture Co. in Lexington NC. Is this set antique? It is all in fine condition.What might it be worth?
There are several "Dixie Furniture" companys in that area starting in the 1900s. Without at least a picture to see the style, I couldn't venture a guess as to it's antique status.
I also do not give appraisals on this forum.
Thanks,
Rob
