Description
Antique French wooden bed made around 1910 probably. It's a small double or a large single (a standard 4.5ft double mattress will just about fit, if you don't mind about 1cm overhang each side, and watch the length..at 189cm it's a bit tight). The wood looks like oak but there are similar hardwoods. Highly decorative with carved panels of agricultural types; very ornate crest on the headboard, and stylised floral borders throughout. Turned finials on the corners. It's been slatted out at some point (originally would've had a divan base), with a lot of narrow batons. Not how I'd have done it but it's effective. Might benefit from a central support bar; we'll get around to this.

declaration
Barnaby's of Battle has clarified that the Antique French Carved Wood Bed (LA592332) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being 1910's
condition
Currently our workshop is closed so this is being sold unrestored. The condition is pretty good though: structurally sound and the joints do up tightly with neglible movement. Headboard slightly warped but nothing much. Cosmetically it has various dings, scuffs and marks but mostly just needs a clean up and wax really. One finial has been stripped, for some reason. Some recent-ish woodworm in places which we've thoroughly treated for good measure.
