Bed of Henry Clay joins Dallas Museum of Art collection
The Dallas Museum of Art acquired Henry Clay’s Gothic Revival four poster bed once intended for the White House. The 13 by 7.5 by 9 foot canopied piece is showcased after a Bed and Breakfast reception, noted as a premier example of mid-1800s American design. Clay, a Whig founder and statesman, never became president, losing to James K. Polk in 1844.
