Condition
The daybed in overall good condition. There is one patch to an inner leg and another patch to underside of the frame adjacent one of the other legs. All four legs have been consolidated at the join with the apron, indicating the possibility that the bed has been reduced in size. There are three filled mortises within the frame. Typical wear to ball feet. The powerful curve of the cabriole legs terminating in the elevated ball feet adds an elegant lightness to the strong form.

An example in elm with shorter legs resting on a bead is illustrated in Nancy Berliner and Sarah Handler, Friends of the House: Furniture from China's Towns and Villages, Peabody Essex Museum, 1995, cat. no. 21. For a lowback bed with similar legs, see Gustav Ecke, Chinese Domestic Furniture, Hong Kong, 1979, p. 26, pl. 20. The Ecke bed has a latticework back and arms which clearly are later additions. It is possible that the Ecke bed originally was also a daybed and was modified into a lowback bed at a later date. The large ball feet supporting the cabriole legs are not often found on beds, however, an elaborately carved lowback bed with the same feature, is illustrated in Robert Hatfield Ellsworth et al., Chinese Furniture: One Hundred Examples from the Mimi and Raymond Hung Collection, New York 1996, pp. 100-101, no. 30.
