Simon Charles Antiques has dated this Victorian Carved Wooden Bed to the 1900s.
The headboard rises to an impressive 151 cm, crowned with an ornate crest featuring scrollwork, shell-like carving, and a central plume motif. The crest is flanked by turned finials and supported by slim column uprights, giving the piece both elegance and stature. Below, a row of finely turned spindles adds balance to the richly carved panel.
The footboard stands 101 cm high (to the finial top) and mirrors the craftsmanship of the headboard, with deeply carved foliate and scroll motifs across the panels. Its symmetry and fluid lines reflect the artistic flourish of late Victorian/Edwardian design. The base is finished with a row of small carved roundels and fluted details, tying the piece together beautifully.
The Bed has been converted to take a standard UK 5ft mattress Measuring 148 cm at its widest point with a rail length of 201 cm, the bed takes a standard 5ft UK King mattress with a slight overhang, as shown in the images. Comes with a base.
The walnut has developed a warm, rich patina over more than a century, enhancing the grain and highlighting the depth of the carving. This natural mellowing gives the bed a sense of timeless character that only genuine antiques acquire.
Overall, this is a statement bedstead – substantial yet elegant – with its finials, columns, and hand-carved decoration all contributing to its distinguished presence.
