ANTIQUE ROSEWOOD PRUDENT MELARD FANCY FULL SIZE BED - $2,600 - (Salem, MO)

for sale is a very nice prudent melard solid rosewood bed. antique of course probably made circa 1860 or so. the foot board curves to accommodate the rails which are raised very high on each end where they connect with the head and foot board. there is carving on the foot board and the head board is heavily carved. in the pictures the crest of the head board looks to have a head of something, but that is not the case when viewing it in person, just very nice carving. it has a few little bumps and bruises but none are noticeable and do not take away from it in any way. it is 58.5 wide outside to outside and 82 inches long outside end to end. it is very sturdy and has no wiggles or wobbles. it has the original caster holders and porcelain casters. it allows for a regular or full size mattress and boxsprings so that the bed spread can be tucked in all the way so the large and beautiful rails can be seen. it is 82 tall to the top of the crest on the head board and the foot board is 34 inches tall. a very nice bed, solid, and in great condition. the finials on the head board are large being a bit over 5 inches in diameter. I have another p-m bed in rosewood with Borgia and Shakespeare carved in the crest of the bed and matching dresser. it is also more abundantly carved, however it is 7 times the price of this bed which is also quite nice. it may be picked up at my home or shipped at the buyer's expense. good luck
