These beds are about as rare and collectable as they come, it is 100% original, all hand sawn, the back panel alone is worth a small fortune as is the roof which was very hard to picture due to the angle
 
The woodwork has been cleaned waxed and polished, it will have the original patina and so on throughout, we have not refinished it specifically to keep the period patina
 
Please note this sale only includes what''s pictured, there''s no mattress as the new owners usually want to buy their own new
 
The bed will be shipped fully dismantled as you can see in the last picture, it takes two people around 10 minutes to built it, its not complicated
 
These types of beds were made with very privative bolts, the fixing points over the years develop a lot of character, the two base posts are secured with a large wooden spigot at the bottom and a small metal pin and that top, as such they rotate and move but are of course secure. If you plan to use this bed I was recommend having some split washers fitted and threads tapped so you can compress them down, its not essential but it will make the posts sit straighter and in one place
