It has lived, so has nicks, scratches and a few small cracks. Professional refurbishment will return it to its original beauty.

I would feel bad disposing of this, so if you fully handle shipping this piece of history, it is yours for free. I am in NJ. ( SEE FINAL PARAGRAPH ABOUT SHIPPING COST)

Provenance:
- Purchased 20 years ago from Lillian’s Antique Shop, 204 W Main Street, Sulphur Springs - no longer in business. Receipt has #194015 written on it and “58 of 80”.
- Numbers on back of headboard support the piece having been used at the Greenbrier.
- #6172 is written on the back in black marker and grease pencil (see pic).
- Former housekeepers from Greenbrier Historical Facebook Group explained that #6172 is probably the room in which the bed was used. Numbers helped track furniture out for repair.
- Greenbrier sold entire rooms of furniture during renovations.

Dorothy Draper & Company did not respond to my requests for further info. If interested or you need more pics, please message me (or text to 908 809 8051).

The headboard is FREE, but all shipping and transport arrangements and expenses are 100% the buyer's responsibility. Because of its large size (88" wide x 80" high at the posts), standard FedEx/UPS ground will not take it. You will need to hire a blanket-wrap furniture mover (such as uShip.com, TaskRabbit, or a white-glove courier). Depending on how far you are located, third-party furniture shipping for a piece this size typically ranges from $150–$300 for local/regional moves up to $500–$800+ for cross-country freight. You are welcome to book a carrier directly to pick it up from my residence, or pick it up in person. I LISTED $500 FOR SHIPPING , BUT SHIPPING WILL BE WHATEVER YOUR SHIPPER CHARGES YOU.. See less
