This Grecian bedstead and matching nightstand, is the most recent Phyfe piece to return to Millford. Constructed of expensive rosewood, this bed was likely made for the master bedroom. The nightstand, one of two ordered for Millford, served a practical purpose: it provided a private space to store the bedroom’s chamber pot.
