RE: Pineapple Finials- Day 480: 5 Minute Freewrite: Tuesday - Prompt: pineapple
Hmm. We've got the same old bed. Same finials. Same odd size too. My grandmother claimed it's worth a fortune, going back to a Civil War era great-grandmother. All I know for sure is it takes an entire day to take apart and put back together again if you've got to move it from one room to another. If we ever sell this house we're leaving it behind.
Civil War era - wow! I've seen nearly identical beds as recently made as the 1930s. The mattress size makes it expensive. Ours is easy enough to disassemble and move. We were told it was a late 1800s piece, but who knows. Solid walnut! That much, we can tell. Yours sounds too awesome to leave behind. I hope you get a fortune for it if you do let it go.
