17th Century Jacobean Style Four Poster Tester Bed
Status:This item has been sold Sold by:The Antique Furniture Company
An impressive 17th century style four poster tester bed with a panelled ceiling and probably dating to post 1940. The headboard with carved frieze, central coat of arms with motto ‘Felix Qui Prudens’ and with iron reading lamps also with coat of arms. The footboard carved with lozenges and seahorses and set between two large fluted and tapering footposts with large reeded cup and cover carvings to the base. The panelled ceiling bordered by a moulded plain frieze. With two Vono rails to the sides which will support a standard double mattress & base.
In good solid condition, there are vertical scratches to the polish all down the footposts and other more minor marks to around the feet and to the canopy. Rails for drapes would need to be added (we will leave what is there in place) and we will replace the missing candle tube from the light.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for more photos, remember to include your email address.

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.
For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
