A very large and impressive William IV mahogany four poster bed dating to circa 1830 and reputedly from Balbirnie House in Fife. This 6ft wide 9 1/2ft high super-king size bed features a projecting canopy above large turned foot posts with bold tulips carvings to the upper part and an arched panelled square-section to the lower posts. With a panelled footboard and mahogany panelled side rails all in beautifully figured mahogany and standing on large turned legs. There are panelled covers which should be fitted to hide the bolts at the corners of the bed (shown unfitted) and there are also wheels which can be added to the underside.

It has the original box base and also a mattress covered in the same fabric (the covers and cushions are not included in the sale). It does require new upholstery and drapes, the headboard is now completely...
