The present bed is related to a similar bed at Lansdowne, Natchez, Mississippi, often regarded as the icon of New Orleans half-tester beds. This example and the Lansdowne bed share a similar tester, headposts and headboard with floral basket crest. The crest carving on the present bed is considerably larger and more fully developed than the Lansdowne bed. This bed also employs a scarcer, sophisticated wrap footboard. The wrap-around footboard reflects the emerging national stylistic trends, yet ingeniously retains the telescoping mosquito netting posts employed on the more traditional footposts.
