Description:
Miniature Grained-painted Wooden Tall Post Doll Bed, probably New England, early 19th century, with shaped and scrolled headboard, ht. 10, wd. 11, lg. 13 3/4 in.
Estimate $300-500
There is a 1 in. crack at the top of the left post at the foot of the bed. There are small holes at the top of each post which indicates it probably had a tester, otherwise it's in pretty good condition, with scattered paint loss, and the fabric tacked on it was put on not long ago.
