[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 4272227, member: 5066"]Indeed, not only does the solid board chamfered into the rails suggest a later date but the weight of it argues against a bed. Rope beds have been around a while, King Tutankhamun was buried in one in 1300 BC. One more recent is this Saffron Walden Bed, without ropes or canopy valances. Late 14th- early 15th century. England. [ATTACH=full]340744[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
