1960 John Widdicomb Sculptural Tall Post King Size Bed - SOLD

July 1, 2016

Stunning mid-century sculptural tall post by the high-end furniture company John Widdicomb, Grand Rapids MI circa 1960. Beautiful wood, beautiful details, a really elegant and unusual bed. This same bed is for sale elsewhere for $1,995. This is a terrific deal on wonderful bed!

In very good vintage condition. The excellent headboard has a few very minor scratches and small areas of finish alligatoring, but presents beautifully. The foot board and frames have the usual, age-appropriate dings and scratches, particularly on the legs.

Includes the tall headboard and low-profile frames. As with most mid-century king beds, this was intended for two twin mattresses. The bed frame is hinged on the headboard to allow the two sides to swing apart. Or just use the headboard with a standard king bed.

Overall dimensions:
79.5" wide x 81" long x 73" high

Footboard height 9.5"; headboard not including spindles ~36"

Space for mattress: 
77" x 76"
