Description:
This bed will snugly fit a standard UK king size mattress size (5ft wide by 6ft 6” long) with the slats, or a maximum custom mattress size of 5ft 9” wide by 6ft 6” long lowered (please see section “Lowering the Slats” below for further information). The bed boasts classic Art Deco styling with the lovely pierced oval shaped head and footboard, flanked by pierced fan shaped detail, below a shaped top rail. The centre of the head and footboard are decorated with a small oval carved cartouche and a dome shaped carved panel below. The bed frame incorporates rectangular side rails and is raised on cabriole shaped legs, adorned with foliate carvings at the knees, terminating on lion paw pad feet. The bedframe incorporates four tapering posts, which support a drop down canopy. The superstructure lends itself to be dressed with romantic muslin drapes. Please note, the bed can be used without the posts and canopy (i.e. not as a four poster bed). This bed boasts a lovely mellow mahogany colour, which retains the original polish and patination.
The bed was designed to be freestanding in the centre of a room; this is why the back of the headboard is also carved and features a mirror match design so that the bed can stand in either direction.

Condition Report:
This bed is in excellent original condition, which is commensurate with its age. Some nominal old use marks to the leading edges and polish but nothing significant considering the age of the item. This bed, which retains the original polish and patination, boasts a rich dark brown colour, with a light satin French polish finish. It is extremely difficult to replicate this colour and patination with furniture that has been re-polished. The bed is constructed of solid mahogany and boasts a superior structure. It is well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
