This bed with baluster shaped posts has four wonderfully turned and carved pineapples which are embellished with acanthus leaf carving and a star punched detail typical of North Shore, Salem work makes a strong statement. Columnar rolls ending in turned finials above equally matching paneled head and foot boards contribute to an almost sleigh bed effect as each end turns away from each other. The surface is first, old, dry, and crusty.

Height: 52 in.  Width:  57 1/2 in.  Length: 77 1/2 in.
