I recently purchased this bedroom set, but can't find any comparable sets online to help date or get the style type. I would classify this style as "war chest", but was wondering if anyone could give any insight as to date, etc.
Thanks!
Apparently they have a good history, try accessing this website, they may open your eyes :

"When it comes to quality and custom options no one I know, manufacturing furniture today, offers the range which Hickory Chair offers. From 19 wood finishes, 24 paint finishes (plus they’ll apply any Benjamin Moore color to any piece) in weathered, vintage or rustic techniques; 12 special painted finishes (gold and gold leaf...etc.); one-of-a-kind, hand painted work by an in-house artist; antique or solid striping; hardware in antique brass, antique bronze, antique silver or Customer’s Own Hardware (a program pioneered by Hickory Chair and one which they’ve copy written); 8 different skirt options; monogramming of initials, motifs or crests and literally dozens of trim, nail head, gimp and ribbon options. Oh and there’s over 800 fabrics to choose from or you can send in your customer’s own fabrics. This doesn’t begin to touch on the fully customizable Silhouettes program where you can select from arm styles, legs, custom depth and height, skirt or no skirt, casters or no casters..etc. The options are limited only by your imagination. Really! "

Possibly your library can loan you a read and if they don't have it, they may be able to order from their affiliate libraries.
Actually your best bet is to contact the company as many designers attribute that company "university" as having a complete history.
