Ended Thomas Day Reproduction Design Mahogany Canopy Bed

Thomas Day Reproduction Design Mahogany Canopy Bed

This gorgeous reproduction of the master furniture maker Thomas Day. Day is considered to be the "Grandfather of North Carolina furniture industry" whose designs can be seen in the Smithsonian.

An American Empire or Federal style king-size canopy bed in the manner of North Carolina cabinetmaker Thomas Day. This bed was produced by Craftique in the mid to late 1990s and was part of their Heritage Collection. Craftique Furniture is a high-quality, American furniture maker known for handcrafted solid mahogany and traditional-style reproductions operating from Mebane, North Carolina, starting in 1946.

North Carolina’s most in-demand, pre-Civil War, master cabinetmaker, Thomas Day, had everything it took to be Southern royalty - land, money, education, and a thriving business. Yet, Day was a black man. Born in a Community of free African-Americans in southern Virginia, Day achieved such fame that his customers created a double meaning for the term “daybed,” a convenient play on his name. His story is as striking as his unique creations, marked by his very own “Exuberant Style.”
