This is a fanciful four-poster with a history rooted in Italian furnishings centuries before there was an Italy. In the 17-18th C. some craftsman lovingly carved the columns by hand, long before the era of power tools. We like to think it was a present for his bride, but that is simply our romantic notion. The decoration in simple flowers on a wedding-white background completes the imagery. The Italian painter, Giotto, was known for emphasizing life-like painting…flowers perhaps?
