i was wondering who may have been the manufacturer and from year this may have been created and distributed. i am having a devil of a time trying to find any items similar to the color and that have these interesting feet used on the dressers and the bed frame. i keep running into dead ends on the web so if anyone can give me a clue i would be most grateful. Please excuse the wrap for I just discovered that my grandparents had this in storage. thank you for your attention

50s granny furniture probably covers it well enough. Look for a label in the top drawers. Determining what year your grandparents were married might assist in your search for the vital age/distribution information. What is your grandparents' name and address of last residence? I will call city hall to obtain all available records. We'll get this sorted out for you, don't worry. Everything is going to be just fine.

If you are in the USA, the style of your grandparent's furniture is what is known as 'Grand Rapids Modern", not necessarily from that region but the style that catered to many middle class Americans who embraced 20th century modernism but with caution and still favors many antique style or antique pretentions with references from the past watered down. (The same consumers if ever they acquired something cutting edge or innovative during that time, these items were usually relegated to the kitchen, den or kids bedrooms not in the more formal rooms of the house).
Also, the plastic wrap could trap moisture if the storage where it is stored is not climate controlled.
Enjoy them and use them for what they are. Your grandparents kept the pieces in the storage for years, they might have paid a fortune for them when they were brand new and they are usually well made.
