Four-poster double bed with flat pediments topped with a wavy pattern, framed by tall spiral columns serving as legs and supporting the profiled cornice of the canopy creating a rectangular frame. Higher headboard. The edges of the applied pediment finials are bordered with a fleshy half-cylinder forming channel and S-shaped sections, as well as elongated cartouches with a rounded, convex field similar to a cabochon. Boarded sides at the pediments are widened in an arched manner with a channel-decorated edge; decorated on the outside with a glued-on profiled strip creating the outline of an elongated oval. Spiral pinnacles at the corners of the canopy. The sides are connected to the pediments with tongue-and-groove joints and pairs of steel screws placed on the inside. The legs are spherical, with a hollow bottom to accommodate a steel roller. Two-piece mattress, with a high back, on springs, is supported by crosswise boards placed on slats attached to the bottom of the sides, on their inside (with indentations for each board). Circa 1840, United States of America. Height 280.5 cm; width 212 cm; depth 160.5 cm.
