Council Craftsman Queen-Size Mahogany Poster Bed with Hand-Carved Wheat Motif

An exceptional example of American heirloom furniture, this Council Craftsman queen-size poster bed showcases solid mahogany construction, refined proportions, and beautifully executed hand-carved wheat motifs that elevate it well beyond ordinary traditional bedroom furniture.
