Question
I have an Ethan Allen Gerogian Court four post bed in cherry with a dark cherry finish. Recently, painters accidentally removed and discarded one of the finials from atop one of th eposts. I need to replace it or have it duplicated. Can you help/advise?

Answer
Lance,

I have a couple of suggestions for you. Try looking at Van Dykes Restoration's (http://www.vandykes.com) website. They sell a good selection of parts to repair broken furniture. You might get lucky and find a finial there.

You can also find some here:
