Bed is held in place by large bolts at each corner and offers an internal mattress space of 60.5" x 76.5", due to the construction of the foot and head boards it allows and excellent opportunity to extend the width if desired.  Please ask for details. The large wardrobe is a real statement piece.  Shallow breakfront shape, cornice beautifully decorated with ormolu mounts.  Made from an early form of flat pack which allows it to be fitted into the most awkward of spaces.  Central mirrored door opens on the key to reveal a partially fitted interior with adjustable shelves and a single and double drawer fitting.  This is flanked either side by a single mirrored door with further adjustable shelves.  3 drawers in the base section.  Removable columns with ormolu mounts.  Standing on ormolu feet.  Slight plate loss to bevelled edge mirrors.
