Summary
One of two baluster turned mahogany foot posts, each with square section at the point at which the end and side rails are bolted to the post, tapering downwards to a narrower foot with additional moulding, and with a castor on the bottom. The posts have single bolt holes to receive end/side rails with one bolt at each end. There is a metal spike at the top of each post above an unpolished band which suggests there may have been a brass collar or similar at the top of each post which is now missing. Part of an incomplete four-poster bedstead
Provenance
Stamford collection; devised to the National Trust by Roger Grey, 10th Earl of Stamford (1896-1976).
