The carpenter kept several old bed-moulds in the corner of the workshop for repairing antique bed frames.

During the renovation, the conservators repaired a cracked bed moulding that had been hidden by layers of paint.

The carpenter carefully measured the bed mouldings before cutting them to size.

The conservation architect pointed out a crack running through the bed-mould of the historic cornice, warning that water infiltration could damage the whole entablature.
