Pair Potthast mahogany pineapple top twin beds c1920

This matched pair of hand made mahogany pineapple top twin beds were made by the Potthast Brothers in Baltimore, MD, in 1920. Potthast made the highest quality reproductions of 18th century American furniture from the late 19th to early 20th century. The company used only the finest matching mahogany and hired the most skilled craftsman of the time. The carving detail is superb. This is the finest pair of twin beds we have ever come across. Both beds are made of solid stock mahogany. The side rails are single boards that each measure 1 and one half inches thick by 8 inches wide and 75 inches long. The head boards are each 42 inches wide and 66 inches high. The side posts were cut out, turned, and carved from a single 3 inch square block of mahogany. The original finish is in excellent condition.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
