Pencil Post Bed, PP-1

In its best form, the pencil post bed is quite beautiful in its graceful simplicity. The test of time has proven the design superiority of this most basic of tall post bedsteads. The simple no - nonsense style harmonizes extremely well with furnishings of any period from the Pilgrim Century to the mid 1800's. Indeed, this form was produced during the very long time span of about 1690 to 1850. This truly classic form, often with variations in the posts or headboard fits remarkably well with both country and high - style American traditional decor. Post height 80". Shown with headboard HB - 1 and foot "A". Other foot choices are shown on the right.
