EDITORS COMMENTS
High Post Bed, 1936" is a stunning work of art by American artist Florence Choate. This exquisite piece, created during the 1930s or 1940s, is a testament to Choate's exceptional skill in the decorative arts. The bed, with its high, ornate posts and intricately carved details, is a visual feast for the eyes. The bed, depicted in the photograph as a watercolor, colored pencil, graphite, and pen and ink drawing on paper, is further enhanced by the addition of the actual wooden bed in the background. The use of color and the delicate shading in the drawing bring the bed to life, making it appear as if it is ready to be used in a grand bedroom or bedchamber. The bed, which is a four-poster or high post bed, is a period item that embodies the elegance and sophistication of the 1930s and 1940s. Its hand-carved design, featuring intricate patterns and tassels, is a true representation of the ornamental and decorative arts of the time. The red color of the bed adds a pop of warmth and vibrancy to the image, making it a standout piece. The High Post Bed, 1936, is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a project that documented American decorative arts and crafts from the Colonial period to the 1940s. It is now part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. Florence Choate's High Post Bed, 1936, is a beautiful example of American art and craftsmanship, and a reminder of the rich heritage of decorative arts in the United States.
