FOUR POSTER BEDS |
|
OUR SPECIALIST
AREA!
This is an opportunity to acquire a unique piece of history. Yolanda has been fortunate enough to acquire a beautiful range of Colonial Four Poster Beds from a gentleman, whose grandfather was the Maharajah in Manshipurah. These had been stores in a shed in India since 1947 and are known to be made around 1820. These beds were constructed for British Army command in the mid 19th Century and were made to be “flat packed” so they could be transported on military exercises and also hot weather into the hills. These beds display superb workmanship. They were made when the Raj was at its height and often denoted the title and rank of its occupier. They range from all sizes and prices and display Nobleman emblems built into the crown. They are easy to assemble and is made of sisoo wood; a member of the rosewood family. For the complete look, mattresses can be made to measure accompanied by beautiful crewelwork. The bed dimensions below, for all our Colonial Four Poster and Standard beds refer to the mattress size required, not the external bed dimensions. Our range of Colonial Four Poster Beds start from £1,500. |
