Baker Furniture
While known for their quality construction methods, Baker Furniture is firstly known as a suberb design company. The company collaborated with so many high end designers to bring stylish pieces to market over the decades. At the same time, the company’s association with several historic foundations also made Baker products a timeless design choice for high end and historic homes.
This Neoclassical style bed has many features of traditional early 19th century design. The gentle curve of the headboard and footboard, as well as the subtle grain pattern from the mahogany, echo Federal and Empire furniture pieces.
Overall, the bed shows good condition. However there are a few small flaws. There is a chip on one side rail. Additionally, there are minor signs of age and use to the footboard and headboard. That said, the bed still looks lovely and would be a very nice addition to any primary or guest bedroom.
