ITEM SW01432:
A Tiger Maple Daybed, New England, c.1830
Originally, this was a much wider bed,
a sleigh bed that was shrunken down to day bed size
for use as a commodious sofa and/or day bed. The four
supporting side members are all solid tiger mahogany
of the finest color. The rails holding the two sides
of the bed are tiger maple and later, evidenced by
its lighter color. The panels within each end are
bird's eye maple. This daybed is a tour de force of
the finest solid tiger maple and weighs a ton. Rarely
if ever does one find Tiger Maple of this category.
Please view all the images; it's a true rarity. Currently,
a firm mattress is being made for this piece, which
will be upholstered later with bolsters and cushions.
Height: 43 1/2 in. Width: 32 in.
Length: 76 in.
