Antique Questions Forum / Antique headboard

« on: January 01, 2007, 08:24:45 pm »

I have an antique headboard that with the detachable posts is over 9 ft tall.  The headboard itself stands over 6 ft tall.  It is a beautiful cherry wood with intricate carving and elaborate inlay.  The problem is, I only have the headboard and there are pieces (probably finials) missing from the top of that.  Does anyone have any suggestions where I can look to find more information about the piece: what was the original structure of the whole bed? what age is the bed? origin?
Thank you!
