Unusual 19th Century Austrian Folk Painted Pine Single Bed

19th century

Sold by Rams Head Antiques

Description

Provenence: From the Collection of the late Stanley J. Seeger

This is an absolutely stunning and rare handpainted Austrian bed. The early 19th century bed has sleigh bed style sides and a raised and very decorative headboard which colourfully depicts the ascension of Christ. The original painting is beautifully done and retains a great depth to the colour. At some time in the past the bed has been professionally extended. This has been done very expertly in solid pine. The bed is now a large single size and would take a large single mattress (3 feet 6 by 6 feet 3). There are pretty town scenes and flower filled urns painted to the base board and floral panels to the side rails, and there is also a date to the base, 1831. Wooden laths are supplied with the bed so all it requires is a mattress. A very charming and unique piece. Delivery by courier can be arranged within the UK.
