This is a fine quality antique Victorian four poster bed, of colonial Raj Anglo-Indian origin, circa 1880, in excellent original condition. This Victorian four poster bed will fit a custom size mattress up to 5ft 8 wide by 6ft 6 long if the slats remain at their original height. If you prefer to fit a standard UK king size mattress (5ft wide by 6ft 6 long), this is possible by lowering the slats (please see section Lowering the Slats below for further information).
The level of detail and craftmanship displayed in the materials, construction and carving of this Victorian four poster bed is second to none. The headboard incorporates a single floral pierced fretwork carved panel, flanked by turned spindles, with decorative moulding running the length of the moulded headboard frame. A decorative floral pierced fretwork carved crown sits atop of the headboard.
Condition Report:
This is a fine quality antique Victorian four poster bed, of colonial Raj Anglo-Indian origin, circa 1880, which will fit a standard UK king size mattress (5ft wide by 6ft 6 long) with the slats lowered,
... in excellent original condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges and polish but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The headboard and footboard bed joints have been cleaned and glued to ensure the bed frame is solid in joint. The bed has been cleaned and French polished by hand in our workshop to a professional standard, therefore the colour and patination of the timber is of an excellent standard. The carvings are all intact, with no missing pieces or damage, beyond the usual signs of age and use. It is rare to find antique four poster beds which will fit a modern standard 5ft king size mattress. The four-poster bed assembles together and all bolts and screws are in good condition. This Victorian four poster bed is well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
