I am looking for more information on what a trussing bed might have looked like. If you know of any books or photos of such a thing it would help my research greatly. I am working on a research paper on the subject, but am having a hard time finding any actual decription. Any help you can offer would be invaluable to me.

Thanks so much,

Nola Yergen

I was wondering if you have any info on the attached bed pictures? It was believed to have belonged to King Phillip IV of Spain. I haven’t been able to find a picture similar.

Can you help??

Thanks Jen King (more…)

Can you please give me any information about this bed? It is believed to be over 100 years old, but I can’t find any info on it.

I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you, Georgaki Sofia. (more…)
