AMERICAN CHIPPENDALE FOUR-POST BED WITH HISTORY.

An antique Chippendale-style full size four-poster bed, the four tall posts each having a turned urn-form column above a square tapered base fitted with side rail hardware. Headboard panel and side rails present. Sold with an accompanying 1983 letter from Eleanore R. Clise of the Geneva Historical Society and Museum, Prouty-Chew House, Geneva, New York, discussing the provenance history of the bed. 87"H x 59"W x 78"L. Auctioneer's Note: A similar bed is illustrated in American Antiques from Israel Sack Collection, Vol. V, page 1180, No. P4120. The principal difference between the two beds is that the Sack example has Marlborough feet only on the front posts, while the bed offered here has Marlborough feet on all four posts. A copy of Sack catalogue page will be supplied to the buyer.
