Bed Very Rare 17th Century Oak Cupboard Bed

Here we have a very rare 17th century cupboard bed. The structure being made from Oak has wonderful colour and patina. There is a shaped cornice to the front and superbly panelled doors which open to reveal the bed space. The split timbers around the sleeping area have holes which would have been for rope which would have criss crossed to hold a straw mattress. There are now added pieces to hold a solid board but these could easily be taken off. Although not shown in the photos there is a top and base for the mattress. As this would have been built in there is an open back which would gone against a wall and an open end above the headboard. The other end is closed and has a candle shelf half way up with typical candle shaped burn marks. There is a cupboard door underneath. The main doors are beautifully panelled and rest in pin holes both top and bottom. The Oak has exceptional colour throughout. Of course the bed is made from pegged construction with the pegs raised from the surface as the main wood shrinks back over time. You will see the bed comes apart and is easy to assemble. The internal measurements are 68 inches long and 45 wide. Externally 72 inches long 71 high and 51 wide. A wonderful period piece of museum quality and rarity ready for your home.
