Lovely full size Aesthetic Victorian faux bamboo birdseye
maple bed attributed to R.J. Horner, NYC. This bed has a very fancy design
with open spindle work in both head and foot boards. It has four large
balls on the top of each bed post. The headboard and footboard both have a
rectangular raised panel in the middle and other recessed panels. All these
panels, as well as the outline of each side rail is bordered by a fancy
quarter round bamboo molding. This bed is slightly larger than a normal
full size bed. It is 2" wider and 4" longer.

This gives plenty of room to
make the bed. American made faux bamboo furniture from this period is
scarce. An example of a vanity in this style is shown on page 140 of
"Masterpieces of American Furniture from the Munson-Williams-Proctor
Institute." R.J. Horner is generally recognized as the leading manufacturer
of such pieces.
Circa: 1890
Dimensions: 67"H x 56"W x 78" (between the rails)
Finish: Excellent polished original finish and patina
Price: $6950.00 |
