Bed, Trundle
Rope type trundle bed, South Family, Mount Lebanon, NY
Description
Trundle bed on four fixed casters. The bed frame is blind-mortise and tenon jointed and painted a gray-brown. The frame has a groove across the middle of its exterior, which is pierced by eight through-holes down the middle of each long side, four on one short side and six on the other. A rope is woven through the frame in a square pattern going in and out of the through holes and resting firmly in the groove. The excess rope is wrapped diagonally across the rope grid at four different intersections. The casters are cast iron and fixed to that the bed only moves in one direction. The wheels are a honey brown and varnished.
