About the Item

This Antique Federal Period Mahogany Full Size Canopy Bed, likely made in Massachusetts around 1820, is a refined example of early 19th-century American craftsmanship. Originally designed as a 3/4-sized bed, it was modified in the past to accommodate a full-size mattress, making it both historically significant and suitable for modern use. Constructed from rich mahogany, the bed features a deep, warm tone that enhances its classic appeal. The finely turned spiral columns are a standout feature, reflecting the high level of craftsmanship typical of the Federal period. The gracefully arched canopy frame adds sophistication and further elevates the bed’s presence. The headboard has a simple yet elegant curved design that contrasts beautifully with the intricately detailed columns. Sturdy brass hardware provides secure support for the full-sized mattress, and the bed has been well-preserved, showing only minimal wear consistent with age. Despite the modification, the proportions and design remain true to the Federal style, making this bed a striking addition to any bedroom. In excellent condition, this canopy bed offers both beauty and functionality, merging historical charm with modern convenience. It is a timeless piece that would make an elegant statement in any space, combining the grandeur of the Federal period with the practicality of a full-size mattress. 84h x 56w x 83d inside rails 54 x 76
