Description:
This is a superb quality and stunning looking colonial Bombay bed of mid colour which is constructed of mahogany, circa 1880 originating from the Bombay region of India, in excellent original condition. The bed will fit a mattress up to 5ft 10” wide. The superstructure lends itself to being dressed with romantic fabric drapes.
In between the turned posts on both the head and footboard is a carved floral panel which sports wavy open fretwork carving. The two-tier foot and headboard are mirrored in design featuring a carved central urn, flanked by turned fluted spindles and rectangular shaped carved floral open fretwork panels either side. Below the main panels is a second tier consisting of turned spindles. The bed sits on a set of four baluster feet. This bed would look stunning in either a contemporary or traditional setting. It dismantles for easy transportation and we can provide affordable good quality custom mattresses. This is a superior quality bed.

Condition Report:
This bed is in excellent original condition, which is commensurate with its age. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges and bed frame but nothing significant considering the age of the item. This bed retains the original polish, which is why the bed boasts a rich colour and stunning patination; it is impossible to re-create this colour if it had been re-polished. The bed is constructed of mahogany. The bed is solid in joint and is ready to use.
