5ft Edwardian Mahogany & Inlaid Bedstead – Ref. 96033W60
£3,895.00
A very fine example of Edwardian cabinetmaking from the very turn of the new century. Made circa 1901, this bedstead features the finest boxwood inlay and stringing work of the day. Bold ovals are flanked on either side by lathes and, in turn, are themselves surmounted by an elongated central gallery and unusual main post caps of a very smooth, pleasing design. This bedstead has been fitted with best-quality (Beardmore & Co. Ltd) cast brass screw-and-ring-plate castors, complete with a square cast brass embellisher. These reproduction items have been polished to a mirror finish and cold-brass lacquered to seal their shine.
New in stock, this bedstead has undergone a meticulous and comprehensive restoration process. The job sheet alone for this work totals £2,000 in skilled labour and cabinetmaking. We have carried out the work in this uncompromising manner to appeal primarily to bed buyers who like their antiques ‘just so’. It is a perfectly restored and functioning antique, exactly as it would have been when it left the factory of our Edwardian forebears. We can’t do this with every bedstead, and it’s essential to pick ones that are particularly suitable for us to make perfect from the outset. After all, it is far more advantageous to work with the kindness that old Father Time affords the chosen few antique beds than to reverse the woes he has bestowed upon those less fortunate others.

The images shown here of bed ref: 96033W60 show this bedstead complete with a combined mattress and bedstead height of 68cm (26¾”). A statement Brass & Iron bedstead such as this one could accommodate a deeper mattress and base height.
