Antique 5ft 7” Victorian Anglo-indian Colonial Raj King Size Four Poster Bed (circa 1880)

£9,450    $12,456    €11,285
This is a fine quality antique 5ft 7” Victorian king size 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), in excellent original condition.
 
 
This bed will fit a mattress size up to 5ft 7” wide by 6ft 9” long, although, it will accommodate a standard UK king size mattress (which measures 5ft wide by 6ft 6” long), if the slats are lowered.
 
The Victorian king size four poster bed boasts a two-tier structure, which is superior in quality than that of a single tier design. The bed also boasts a single panel carved headboard depicting grapevines and flowers, flanked by ring turned spindles below an arched headboard. The carved open fretwork detail to the headboard and crown is spectacular; this is evident in the floral and grapevine carvings seen on the crown, and the rectangular panel, which sits below the crown. The crown also incorporates a pretty oval small mirror, flanked by beaded frame.
 
Decorative blind fretwork detail is visible to the side rails and rails, along with the headboard and rails. To the bottom of the Victorian king size four poster bed, the two-tier footboard incorporates multiple ring-turned spindles below a horizontal ring turned rail. Above the bed frame, four elegant barley twist tapered posts support a protruding moulded canopy. Decorative foliate motifs sit at the top and bottom of the posts. The bed terminates on ring turned baluster legs. The superstructure lends itself to being dressed with romantic fabric drapes.
