Description
Vintage French wooden double bed with upholstered ends, made in a vaguely Louis XV style in the 1950's probably. The frame is beech wood, with shaped head and tail boards, and side bars. White upholstery with studs round the edges. The original divan base is gone (as always; I don't think I've even seen one..) so we've slatted it out ourselves, and fitted a central bar with supports to stop any sagging.
It'll easily take a standard 135cm x 190cm mattress, though it could fit one a little wider.

declaration
Barnaby's of Battle has clarified that the Vintage French Upholstered Double Bed (LA494513) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being 1950s
condition
Condition is pretty good structurally: the bolts do up nice and tight so there's negligible movement. Cosmetically there are a few issues: the wooden frame is a bit scuffed and marked; nothing that a rub and a wax wouldn't sort out, and the upholstery is rather grubby in places. It looks like it's been re-covered by someone, adequately rather than professionally. It's very useable though, and would probably clean up quite well if you didn't want the expense of getting it covered again.
