Exquisite and Rare American Double Bed

A very beautiful all original bed with fabulous shaping and original finish. There is still some of the original painted flowers on the corners of the bed. We have preserved the original paint finish on this stunning bed by denibbing and black waxing to rejuvenate the colouring, whilst preserving and protecting the slightly textured original paintwork and remnants of painted flowers on the corners. Fabulously sturdy and aesthetically pleasing castings and clamps, with a very interesting square and rectangular details. Antique American beds are particularly hard to come by so a special find. We have replaced the side rails of this bed so it suits a modern length double mattress, we have painted to match the frame of the bed. Black waxed and buffed well to protect and shine.
