The 17th Century elements are mainly English, from South Yorkshire.The headboard is made up of three elements. The upper section has an angel figure flanked by inlaid panels. The middle section has a pair of enriched diamond panels, whilst the lower pair of panels have a richly carved framework. The headboard is flanked by a pair of 16th Century bedposts. The posts are heavily carved with acanthus leaves, floral designs, animal masks and figures. The end posts are richly carved with figures and animal forms; the bed ceiling is also richly carved and inlaid. The roofing rail is crenellated, carved with circular details and lion masks, with attached carved drops in the form of acorns.The curtains and bedcovers are modern reproductions, representative of the type of materials used at the time. | Subjects: | Country Estates | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
