    I just acquired these beds supposed to be out of walnut. They are almost identical and the sizes are:

    HEADBOARD 120.2X89.3CM
    LEGBOARD 73.2X94CM
    SIDE PLANK 197CM X 15.2CM

    Ok!
    I thought it may be a wood I never heard of. Sounds legitimate.
    If it's Walnut you can edit it in your original post.

    Those are lovely ! Id say walnut for sure,maybe circa 1900-20s ? Italian or French would be my guess.

    These do appear to be walnut burl but seem just a tad light so could be some other wood. Have some characteristics of elm and that would be a possibility since European. I would generally say 20s and French or Belgian but something about these says later and possibly made elsewhere. They just seem a bit clunky for lack of a better descriptor and I don't particularly like that single veneer back for being old. European furniture is not my strength so perhaps someone else will come by with some insights.

    Having in mind the source, I am gussing these should be Italian. Each bed had a thorn off label on one of side planks. They are pretty light though...
