Thank you all for posting! (:
And it's all hand painted and it fits a full size bed.
Does anyone know anyway I could find where it was made or where it came from?

Antique Questions Forum / Can anyone tell me ANYTHING about this bed?

« on: August 22, 2011, 06:54:54 pm »

This bed was given to my family by a really close friend who passed away a couple weeks ago. All we really know about it is that it was her's as a little girl growing up in Connecticut (1940s - 1950s) and that it was most likely passed down to her by her grandmother or maybe even great-grandmother.
The only markings on the whole bed are just a few black marker or chalk marks on the back of one of the side boards, but I don't understand them.

If anyone can tell me anything about it so I can further my search, it would be greatly appreciated! (:

Below are some pictures of the headboard, a close up on the painting on the headboard, side boards/foot board/planks for under the bed, and the black markings on the back of the side board.
