:: Over 200 Designs of Four Poster Beds
Four Poster Beds From the earliest times were given great importance and attention to their carved design and detail.
Our ancestors spent huge sums of money on their four poster beds Design construction and decoration more than on any other article of furniture. In all large houses births, marriages, deaths and the reception of distinguished visitors were great events in which beds played an important part.
And minute descriptions of them are found in early inventories when those of other furniture are disappointingly meagre.
In wills dating from the fourteenth century onwards, "the best bed " often headed the list of personal legacies, and they were regarded as family possessions of the highest consequence.
In Royal palaces an officer was placed in charge of them, and in the Privy Purse Expenses of Elizabeth of York, queen of Henry VII, there are frequent allusions to the "groom of the beds" and to sums paid to him for superintending the removal of this part of the Queen's furniture on her progress (travels) through the country.
