A matched pair of American cannonball beds, circa 1830 to 1850, made in the country tradition. Each bed stands on boldly turned posts crowned with large ball finials, the feature that gives the cannonball bed its name. The headboards are cut with graceful scrolled ears and open cutouts, and the shaped footboards carry that same line to the foot of the bed. From what we can see, the beds appear to be solid walnut, with solid pine rails finished in walnut veneer. A matched pair is less common than a single bed, making this set a wonderful choice for a guest room or shared bedroom.
Beds of this era were originally rope beds, with the mattress resting on a woven rope lattice laced across the rails. The wood shows wear, marks, and finish variation consistent with age and use, as pictured.
These beds are very close to a traditional twin size, but will need a custom size mattress or a memory foam mattress that can be gently squeezed to fit the length from headboard to footboard. If you need a reference for where to have a custom size mattress made, just reach out and we are happy to point you in the right direction.
Headboard & Footboard 41.5w x 46h
Rails 42w x 72L
Rail inset 37.5w x 72L
