of Antique Pine Bed.
There are many different styles that an antique pine bed can come in but one of the most common traits is tall posts on all four corners that are used to hold curtains. These are called four poster beds and were very common before the invention of good wall insulation and centrally heated homes and buildings.
This antique pine bed with four curtains surrounding it could easily stave off cold draughts which were commonplace in old buildings. This in turn kept the occupants of the bed much warmer. The invention of modern insulation and heating techniques has rendered the four poster obsolete, but they are still popular for their style and the sense of luxury they evoke.
An antique pine bed can come in a wide variety of other styles with ornately carved head and end boards or be simple un-sanded pine complete with ancient knots and soot filled creases. Weathered antique wood such as pine fetches an incredibly high price and is used in some of the most expensive furnishings.
