Description:
Here is a superb quality late 20th Century reproduction of a Tudor style dark brown solid oak carved double size (4ft 6” wide) bed, showing exceptional quality and craftsmanship, in excellent condition.
This is a very good quality bed finished in a dark brown oak colour, having been handmade from a combination of predominantly solid oak & other hardwoods. The bed is in the style of the English Tudor period, which dates between 1500 to 1530. This bed shows exceptional craftsmanship. All panels are detachable for ease of transport, access into a house and assembly. This bed fits a standard UK double size mattress (4 6ft” wide x 6ft 3” long).
The headboard can be dismantled into panels (if necessary) to allow easy access up narrow staircases or through doorways. The headboard is constructed of several floral carved panels, predominantly sunflowers and tulips; interspersed with guilloche, acanthus leaf and punch work sections. Towards the bottom of the headboard are two inset panels. The sections, including the styles are interspersed by formal strap work arabesque rails defined by a sunken matted ground.
The footboard boasts similar carved floral panels to the headboard, enriched with punch work flanked by formal strapwork arabesque rails defined by a sunken matted ground. The footboard corner blocks feature profuse grape vine floral carvings. The side rails feature formal strapwork arabesque rails defined by a sunken matted ground, secured by carved corbels either end.
