The antique furniture at The Bonner Garden have been Tastefully selected to reflect simplicity and comfort. A few of the more unique pieces are shown here.
This museum-quality walnut Victorian sofa dates back to the 1860-1880
era. This hand-carved piece has been repaired and recently reupholstered
in Houston by Horace Pierson Restoration. This piece was originally
acquired at Roundtop, Texas. The marble-top table was discovered abandoned
at the Whitehall Hotel in Houston, Texas (ca. 1920).
This Empire desk dates back to the 1870-1890 time frame. This is remarkable
for its solid front drawer construction. It conversely has delicate
legs presenting more of a feminine appearance which fits in well with
the decor of the Portico Room. The glass top is for protection purposes...
feel free to use this during your stay. Be careful, though, as the
knee room is cramped for taller guests!
This Continental-era desk is simple and practical, just as our early
American forbears liked it! The lamp is an ornate circa 1940 desktop
piece, suitable for an accountant's desk.
