Vintage 1970s Drexel Bedroom Set, Attributed
From the Mrs. Elaine R. Estate, Historic Olive Drive Neighborhood, Bakersfield, California
This exceptional vintage Drexel bedroom set dates to the 1970s and comes from the Mrs. Elaine R. Estate, a carefully preserved, single-owner collection sourced from a mid-century home in Bakersfield’s Historic Olive Drive neighborhood.
Originally purchased new by Mrs. Elaine R. and her husband in the 1970s, these pieces remained in their home for over five decades. Throughout that time, the furnishings were thoughtfully cared for and maintained in original condition, reflecting both the quality of their construction and the pride of long-term ownership.
The Mrs. Elaine R. Estate was recently opened after decades as a private residence and revealed a cohesive, well-preserved snapshot of mid-century and 1970s design. The home functioned as a true time capsule, containing original furnishings, lighting, and décor, with several pieces still retaining original sales documentation—an increasingly rare and compelling detail that enhances both authenticity and collector appeal.
This Drexel set exemplifies the brand’s hallmark craftsmanship of the era, featuring solid wood construction, rich wood tones, architectural profiles, and distinctive carved drawer fronts with original hardware. The scale and design are substantial yet refined, making the set equally suited to traditional interiors or thoughtfully layered, high-end eclectic spaces.
Items from the Mrs. Elaine R. Estate Collection include vintage Drexel bedroom furniture, wicker-accented seating, original 1970s lamps, and decorative wall art, all sourced from the same long-held residence.
Offered together, this set carries not only enduring design and quality, but a documented history that will resonate with collectors seeking authenticity, continuity, and a meaningful provenance.
