a gilded frame in the form of bundled rope with intermittent ties. The single
caned headboard has a bookpaged floral garland of superb quality, the whole surmounted

(again all original gilt). The bowfronted footboard matches the headboard but
is double caned with extensive garlands of gilded leaf work and flower buds over
the cane. A sturdy antique bed which bolts together very simply forming a very
rigid structure supplied with new slats. The whole raised on 6 fine tapering turned
and fluted legs with brass casters.
