Antique Federal Period Solid Tiger Maple Cannonball Bed c. 1830

About the Item

This Antique Federal Period Solid Tiger Maple Cannonball Bed, dating to around 1830, is a stunning example of early American craftsmanship. The bed is made from rich tiger maple, which showcases its distinctive, striking grain pattern that adds depth and beauty to the piece. The solid construction of the bed allows the natural beauty of the tiger maple to take center stage, with both the headboard and footboard featuring the captivating grain. The bed’s cannonball finials, a defining feature of the design, add a bold and classic touch, while the turned posts on each corner demonstrate fine craftsmanship. The headboard and footboard are paneled simply, emphasizing the wood’s natural beauty with clean lines and subtle curves. It is important to note that this bed is 3/4 size, and the rails were lengthened at some point to accommodate a longer mattress. In excellent condition for its age, the bed retains its original beauty, with minimal signs of wear. The tiger maple continues to shine with its vibrant grain, and the sturdy construction ensures lasting durability. This bed is a perfect blend of historical charm and practical functionality, making it a timeless addition to any bedroom. 50h x 56w x 86d inside the rails 49w x 78d
