Title

Furniture - Bureau, Bartlett-Jones Bedstead Factory in West Worthington

Description

Identify Catherine Rude Sena. The bureau was likely made in the Bartlett-Jones Bedstead Factory in West Worthington, which was built in 1846. Originally the mill made wooden screws for vices and presses. By 1886 the mill was making bedsteads and agricultural tools. It seems to have been altered and badly stained and varnished. It was brought from the Capen/Riverside School House on 7/31/2006. There is a mirror attachment that is fairly modern, three drawer bureau. It is in poor condition and we are considering ways to restore it.
