There is no mattress with the bed - it is just the bed base (as photographed). The bed dismantles so that the posts are separate, however, the canopy will be one piece (see further images). The height of the base (excluding the upholstered section of bed base) is 32cm. Overall height is 252cm. We think that the bed posts and the bed canopy are 19th century, whilst the board section, side rails and fabric are later. The cornice has been cut (as photographed). Carved mahogany poles are in good condition. The bed base is heavily stained. The board fabric has some discolouration and staining, and some of the ropetwist trim is loose. Some black staining to the curtains (as photographed). Farbic around the canopy is in good condition.

We are happy to provide Condition Reports to Prospective Buyers, but would welcome your request as soon as possible, preferably at least 48 hours before the Day of Sale.

We cannot guarantee a reply to any requests made within 48 hours of the start of the auction. The absence of a condition report from a lot does not mean that the lot is in perfect condition.

 A Condition Report is an honest expression of our opinion, not a statement of fact and is provided as a service to the Seller. All lots are available on public view ahead of an auction and we encourage people to see an item in person when possible.

Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers, and are prepared with the naked eye unless otherwise stated.

 Works are not examined out of the frame, unless specifically stated. We accept no liability for the opinions expressed in any Condition Report.

Tennants Auctioneers do not cover damage to gilded wood or plaster picture frames, or to picture frame glass whilst the item is in our possession.
