Empire-Style Giltwood Daybed

19th century, each end paneled and with a back-scrolled, foliate-carved crest, flanked by guilloche uprights and joined by like rails, raised on shaped feet.
h. 36", inside w. 30-1/2", l. 76", outside w. 34", l. 85"

The headboard and footboard are both tight at their joints. It retains old bolts to join them and the rails. The gilt surface has been renewed in places and distressed. There are some scattered losses to gilt and underlying carving, the most notable of which have been colored in. As lagniappe, the bed is accompanied by an upholstered cushion/mattress which retains good shape and firmness. The upholstery is free of rips and tears; there are some spots of light soiling which may clean out. The dimensions of the cushion are 30" wide and 74-1/2" long. This is narrower than a standard twin mattress.
