OUR SPECIALIST
AREA!
This is an opportunity to aquire a unique piece of history. We have been fortunate enough to purchase a range a colonial four poster beds. This style of bed dates from 1840 and was made up until 1947. The beds were constructed for the british Raj and their families. They were made from the finest wood usually mahogonay, teak or sissoo wood (a member of the rose wood family). The beds were made to flat pack so could be transported on military exercices and to their summer houses in the hills. They were made when the Raj was at it's height and sometimes denote the title or rank of the owner. We have a wide range of sizes and can supply mattreses to order. Our range of colonial four posters start from £1500. |
