5ft6 Antique Victorian Birds Eye Maple Bedstead – Ref. 9666W66
£7,750.00
Rare, elegant and very beautiful mid period Victorian Birds Eye Maple bedstead. Extra large double size bedstead from this earlier period of 19th century production, would have been produced by a know maker of the day. Made circa 1870, we attribute this bedstead to Gillows. Although it is not stamped as such and therefore would in all probability have been made for a retailer thus the need for the maker’s discretion. Featuring finely fluted and carved, separated columns and beaded, fielded panels, early beds such as this are very hard to find in big sizes now.
Currently standing unrestored and awaiting further, direct customer instruction. This may entail just a light touch cleaning type restoration and any attention the frame may need to support a new mattress and bedstead base. Alternatively for the price stated the bedstead will be fully restored including a complete and highly professional French Polishing process.
This fine bedstead is from Brocket Hall one of the country houses of Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Its most unique direct provincial link to Palmerston was completely overlooked by the leading auction house from whom we acquired it! Luckily for us it was spotted by Bed’s Bazaar eagle eyed buyer. What could it be? A late 19th, early 20th century removals suppository label stating it to be his property of course! Not too difficult a mystery to unfurl!!
