panelled low post bedpost detail

Sold

This pair of beds are an adaptation of a 17th century bed post shown in Nutting's "Furniture Treasury". They feature early style bead and groove rails and a simple raised panel headboard. Constructed of maple with mortise and tenon joinery they are hand painted Essex green over red.

The size is twin, made undersize so the mattress comes to the outside of the rail. Swedish slats are included so a box spring is not required.

Foot Post Height 35 1/2"
Head Post Height 54"
Rail Height 15"
Headboard Height 44"
 

List price $5,520. This pair of beds is available for $3,312.
