(London: 1754) Sp Coll S.M. 2008

 
Gothick Bed
Plate 29
T. Chippendale inv. et delin.; M. Darly sculp.
(Published according to Act of Parliament)

Is a Gothic bed the same as the former, except the tester, which is flat. This cornice will look extremely well, if properly work'd. A is the tester lath; ccc, &c are the pullies where the lines are fixed; B is an ornament to be made of the lace or binding of the furniture (p. 10).
