Oak Four Poster Standing Bed Circa 1580.
Four Poster Beds between 1500 and 1550 the wooden framework of the bed was taking on a new importance. The wooden paneled headboard had come into use. Replacing the fabric celure at the headboard. The oak of which it was made was often imported from Scandinavia and as this timber was also used in the paneling of the walls and ceilings the headboard was generally known as the wainscot.
So because similar panels were used in sealing the roof or wall the four poster bed was called a “sealed bed” in the Elizabethan period.
At first these beds were confined to the wealthy, but soon they were introduced to the homes of yeoman farmers. They remained popular until the middle of the seventeenth century and were known at the time as “sealed beds” “posted beds stead's” or “wainscot beds”. The term four poster bed was not used until the nineteenth century.
