Description:
Here is a fine quality large antique 4ft 6” wide Victorian colonial Raj double four-poster bed, boasting the original polish, circa 1880, originating from colonial India. The bed will fit a standard UK double mattress (which measures 4ft 6” wide by 6ft 3” long). The bed incorporates a single tier structure, with a single carved floral panel headboard, topped with a floral carved crown, flanked by a bank of ring turned spindles, below an arched, moulded top rail. The bed incorporates moulded side rails and head- & footboard rails. To the bottom of the bed, the single tier footboard incorporates multiple ring turned spindles, below a horizontal turned rail. Above the bed frame, four ring turned tapered posts support a drop-down canopy. The bed terminates on ring turned baluster legs. The superstructure lends itself to being dressed with romantic fabric drapes.
Retaining the original polish and patination, the bed boasts a rich brown colour, with a satin French polish finish. The bed is constructed of sissoo wood (a member of the Rosewood family) and has a superior structure. This bed would look stunning in either a contemporary or traditional setting. It dismantles for easy transportation and we can provide affordable good quality custom mattresses. This is a superior quality centrepiece for any bedroom and is ideal for those who prefer a wider bed.
