Bedframe owned by the Ellis family

Unidentified · late 19th century

A Victorian full-size carved wooden panel bed frame consisting of headboard (a), with footboard (b) and two side panels (c and d) with six wooden slats (e-j). The arched headboard features a carved center crown with palmette and oval medallion elements, and additional ornamental carvings each side. The footboard has a low, curved arch silhouette. The design allows the wooden side panels to be fitted into place in the head and foot boards without the use of tools.
