#502 Day-bed

The carved cresting on the back at the end, and the carved stretchers between the legs, are in the styles seen in the cane chair No. 36, which were of about the same period. The cane in the back and the seat will be noticed.

The length of the three divisions made by the legs and stretchers about equal the width of the seats of three chairs.

Some of these day-beds of this type have scrolled feet in the Flemish style, such as are seen in the cane chairs mentioned. These early day-beds are seldom seen outside of museums.

About 1670-1680.
