I can't give you any help on monetary value (a no no for curators) but it is a bedroom suite of the 1910s or 20s, made in the US, and would have been sold as Louis something--although one could also say Chippendale or Rococo.  Its distinctive and eclectic mixture of styles proclaim it to be American--because other countries tended to be very literal in their style translations. It was expensive in its day, but it was made in a factory for department store sale.
