New member requesting assistance identifying parlor set

Greetings!  I discovered this forum while 'wish-shopping' online.  My name is Kimberley and my boyfriend and I own a large 1909 Foursquare in Ottawa, Kansas.  We are both from California and are amazed at what we can buy in the Midwest!  Our home, unlike many others, has not been 'raped' of it's glorious details.  The woodwork has never been painted, the hardware is all original, etc. 

I purchased a parlor set for the formal parlor shortly after we bought the home and I'd like some assitance in identifying the age, maker, etc.  I had been eyeing it at a shop close to my house and finally got tired of it looking at it so I made an offer.  The set features a settee, ladies and gentlemans chairs, an armchair and  a footstool.  Currently, it is covered in a patterned chenile fabric, but I purchased 18 yards of deadstock mohair fabric with a flowered pattern with which I plan to recover at some point.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.  Along with the set we received a framed marriage certificate from 1896 which stated that the set was the first purchase by the couple for their new home.















Spoiled rotten Great Dane, Count Von Schwartshund circa 2004

The set seems to predate the marriage certificate, to me, circa 1870s.  Late 1890s would have had simpler construction and details than what you have.

Yours is a Renaissance Revival, specifically Neo-Grecian (Neo-Grec) set.  The Greek keys and classical plaques/faces suggest this style.

I was unable to find your particular set in some of my catalogs, but it is a mass-produced set from a mid-level maker to the masses.

Glad it has a new home and is living on as a set together.
