Hamilton’s Charleston and Period Tall Post Beds
All of Dan Hamilton's Charleston and other solid heavy mahogany Tall Post Beds, as well as
all of his magnificent work, are hand-crafted from scratch, marked, dated, and
made-to-order, piece-by-piece, from beginning to end, right here in the low country of South
Carolina just as was done in the olden days of Eighteenth Century England and America,
whereby cost depends on the amount of time invested, the intricacy of the carvings, and
nature of the work.
The pictures of a carved post to the right show the detail of a finished Charleston Tall Post
starting from the top finial all the way down to the bottom foot. These include finial, capital,
reeding shaft, sheath, necking, urn, plinth, and foot.
