Description: This is an 1840-1850 Spool Rope Bed and I am guessing it is solid cherry. It is very heavy and impeccable built. Very unusual double wood top rails for both headboard and foot board. It has been fitted with L brackets and for an antique full mattress which can be ordered online. It is high up. It also has fitted brass rails which was to dress the bed with dust ruffle. Both brackets and brass poles can be removed. I have the screws which were partially stripped and bought new ones. Beds used to have ropes to hold up the mattress, which needed regular tightening, hence the old saying, "sleep tight...". Those knobs and the hole had something to do with the ropes. It took two people to carry the headboard and foot board in.This came from an estate in Connecticut. A very fine Antique Piece of History and stunning to look at. Feel free toemail any questions you might have. Please see all the pictures as they are part of the description. Cheers.Dimensions:49.5 inches Height / 78.75 inches Length / 54.75 inches Width.
