Federal Period Sheraton Southern Cherry Cannonball Four-Poster Bed, Late 18th–Early 19th Century

Description

Federal Period Sheraton Southern Cherry Cannonball Four-Poster Bed, Late 18th–Early 19th Century

A beautiful example of early American craftsmanship, this antique four-poster bed dates from the Federal period (circa 1800–1900) and reflects the elegant influence of Sheraton design. Crafted from rich Southern cherry wood, the bed features the classic “cannonball” turned posts that crown each corner with sculptural charm and symmetry.

Some original brass inlay details are missing, as seen in the photos, which adds to the authentic, timeworn appeal of this historical piece. One of the posts has discoloration due to the sun exposure

The warm patina of the cherry wood and the refined simplicity of its lines capture the sophistication of the early republic era, offering both historical character and time style.
