LINCOLN BEDROOM "Grapevine" Bed The most famous piece of furniture in the White House has been reproduced according to historical accuracy. To re-create the remarkable Lincoln Bed, artisans were guided by the original "Grapevine" design, then scaled it to accommodate a contemporary queen-size mattress. Experienced craftsmen were enlisted to hand-carve every detail in 100% mahogany. (Specifications: Overall dimensions: Length: 85.5", Width: 65.25"; Headboard Height: 94"; Footboard Height: 33"; Weight: 375-pounds). Steeped in history, the bed was purchased in 1861 by Mary Todd Lincoln as part of her refurbishing of the executive mansion. (Although Abraham Lincoln never actually slept in the bed, several other Presidents did, including Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson). The bed was a part of a set of furniture Mrs. Lincoln purchased for the Prince of Wales Room, since the Lincoln Bedroom was originally used as the President's personal office. In fact, it was the room w Mr. Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation that freed the slaves of the Southern Confederacy in 1863. In 1902 the room became a bedroom when all the second floor offices were moved to the West Wing during the Roosevelt renovation. It was named the Lincoln Bedroom in 1945 when President and Mrs. Truman moved in the historic bed. It remains the only room in the White House dedicated to a single President, and it's w Presidents lavish friends and wealthy supporters with sleep-overs. Shipping to any address in continental U.S. is $500.
