Originally, a canopy was an emblem of social station. In Byzantine and Medieval times, only the most privileged had full canopies on their beds. During the Renaissance, canopies were used less exclusively. Canopy beds became popular in the American colonies because they conserved warmth and provided privacy. Today, many people prefer to forgo the canopy altogether, so our canopy is optional. Our Pencil Post Bed comes standard with a Horizon Headboard, but we will gladly substitute a Hillside or Sunrise Headboard at your request. Handbuilt in Oak or Cherry.
