Unrestored
Canopy Bed
(inventory # EE-179)
This grand Victorian Era bed has the traditional "hanging"
headboard with three arched panels topped by some high relief carvings.
The photo here shows the finish on the bed just as we received it.
The old dark finish has since been removed and has exposed some very highly
figured "quilted or fiddle back" cherry or mahogany. Even the four
tapered octagonal posts are equally figured. Even the side rails
have the same figure. Because this bed is naturally 62" wide between
the rails, we are going to extend the original rails to enable a queen
mattress to fit inside the frame. This is an older mid Victorian
era bed with original bolt on rails and posts. Everything is extra
heavy and solidly built. One of the finials has a chunk missing and
the canopy frame is gone, but this will be an outstanding piece once restored.
Size ................ 88"
Tall x 68" Wide x 84" Long (this is the area that will be extended another
8")
Circa .................. 1860's
