Questions About Cannonball Poster Bed
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023

Legend has it that American furniture manufacturers got the inspiration for the design when the colonists began sanding the bedposts into round ball shapes as a sign that they supported the revolutionary movement. Shop a range of cannonball beds on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
