This beautiful Victorian brass and iron king size bed is a real piece of story with its gorgeous naturally aged brass and porcelain details depicting two historical famous musicians and one historical famous Irish politician . We have wondered this selection of cameos were chosen and looked for a link between them. What we have found in a brief search, is that they were all committed to their convictions and were revolutionaries to a greater or lesser extent.

Felix Menelssohn..Born 1809 German musician and composer.

Daniel O'Connell Born 1775 Political leader in Ireland and sat in British Parliament

Wilhelm Wagner Born 1813 Also a German musician and composer.

Back to the bed ..The bed rails have been strengthened and lengthened to support modern king size 150cm x 200 cm mattress size. The frames been shot blasted prior to printing and hand finishing in Little Greene paint company Jet Black with wax over. The bras has been hand cleaned to reserve naturally aged patina.

IF you like the bed; but are unsure regarding the porcelain detail; we can remove and replace with brass for an additional £100.
