Title: Antique Bed (100+ years old?) Looking for Information...
Post by: Dannyboy8406 on July 11, 2010, 09:41:14 PM

I recently inherited this bed from my great aunt's estate.  I was always told it was over 100 years old, not sure of the exact manufacturer date however.  I have been unable to find any type of makes mark or company seal on the bed in any location.  The only mark of any kind is located in two places.  On the bottom inside of the headboard and bottom inside of the footboard, burned into the wood is the same number: 1756 5/8.  Pictures below, click on thumbnail for a larger view.

Hi Danny! I also inherited a bed similar to this 3 years ago. I don't know the exact age, but I know that has about 90 years. I'm very proud of it, I even arranged a room with antiques, things inherited from my grand-grand parents. I'm a big fan of old things :)

English Bedstead, circa 1920's $350.00 Dollars. High end shop you' could expect $ 500.00 Dollars.

This does appear English to me....but have seen a few French that copied English style! 
Agree totally with time frame and values with D&b.
