True History Victorian Brass & Iron King Size Bed with Porcelain Detail

This beautiful Victorian brass and iron king size bed is a real piece of story with its gorgeous naturaly aged brass and porcelain details depicting two historical famous musicians and one historical famous Irish politician. We have wondered why this selection of cameos were chosen and looked for a link between them. What we have found in a brief search, is that they were all committed to their convictions and were revolutionaries to a greater or lesser extent. Felix Menelssohn..Born 1809 German musician and composer. Daniel O'Connell Born 1775 Political leader in Ireland and sat in British Parliamnet Wilhelm Wagner Born 1813 Also a German musician and composer. Back to the bed.... The bed rails have been strengthened and lengthened to support modern king size 150cm x 200 cm mattress size.
