Description:
The bed will fit a 4ft 6” wide by 6ft 3” long mattress if the slats are raised. With the slats at the current height, the bed will fit a mattress 4ft wide by 6ft 1” long. We can supply custom size luxury quality mattresses. Please see section below titled “Raising The Slats” for further information. The bed incorporates a protruding cornice, featuring reeded detail with oak panels, raised upon four tapering reeded posts decorated with acanthus leaves. The intricately carved headboard incorporates floral and beaded and gadroon carvings, as well as a central tableau, depicting a pair of doves with a flaming torch and bow & arrows. The bed frame is decorated with cock-beaded panels to the side rails and footboard. The bed is raised on sturdy square legs, which incorporate oak and mahogany fielded panels (these cover the bolts which hold the bed together and boast brass ring handles on foliate escutcheons). The bed is raised on tapering legs terminating on spade feet. The superstructure lends itself to being dressed with romantic fabric drapes.

Condition Report:
This bed is in good 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 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 with oak panels. The bed is well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
