This extremely rare original
Victorian bedstead is in remarkable condition.
The cast iron mouldings have been hand gold lined and the bars have transfers still showing. Also on the two central panels there
are hand painted fuschias and cottage garden flowers.
All this paintwork is original from about 130
years ago. The background colour of the bed is
traditional black and inevitably with the age
of this bed there are scratches and blemishes
in the finish. We have cleaned and protected the
paintwork ensuring that the bed will not deteriorate
further in time. As long as the bed is kept in
dry conditions this rare find should last for
generations.
The width of the bed is 4ft. 6in. and will accept
a standard double base and mattress set.
One option for restoration of the bed includes
raising the head panel so that with a modern base
and mattress the design of the head panel is not
hidden. The inserted piece will be below the pillow
line and will be colour matched with the origianl
finish.
Another option would be to restore the bed completely,
whilst retaining the central painted panels. There
is an additional charge for this option. If you have any queries please feel welcome
to speak to a member of our sales team who will
be
more than happy to help and advise you.
