Victorian High Back Mahogany & Upholstered Double Bed

A handsome Victorian mahogany and upholstered double bed dating to circa 1880. With a tall half tester size arched padded and upholstered headboard and two acanthus carved and fluted columns flanking the moulded panelled upholstered footboard, it stands on turned feet raised on later castors for ease of moving.

In very good condition and of super quality, the show wood to the head and foot board has been repolished using traditional methods, and both the head and foot boards have been repadded, recovered and trimmed with a rope-twist cord ready for finishing with a final layer of fabric. The side rails are not polished as these would usually not be seen and they have had slats fixed to create a support for the mattress base. There are marks as should be expected commensurate with age and use, an old repair to a finial and a dented area on the top inner edge of the footboard none of which detracts from the overall look.

The price shown is for the bedframe only, we have displayed it with a low spring base and standard double sized mattress. The bedside cabinets are available separately to buy separately and we always have chests and wardrobes available which would compliment this bed.

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
