About the Item

Royal House Antiques Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this very rare and highly collectable original circa 1700 King George I Jacobean Oak Tester bed with ornately hand carved panels Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only for the UK and local Europe only for international, if you would like an accurate quote please send me your postcode and I’ll provide you with the exact price What a piece of art furniture, this is a time capsule into a period where life was very different, the quality of this kind of work doesn't exist anymore, can you think of anything made today that will still be standing in 320+ years! The bed is carved all over using traditional Jacobean techniques, it is truly exquisite from every angle, this is naturally a tour de force of craftsmanship, made in a time when quality was quality and the term no expense spared was coined The bed retains all its original bolts which is to say the four along the base, all other joints simply slot together. Beds like this are not as stable as modern examples as you can imagine, I would recommend if this is to be used as intended, the new owner has a cabinetmaker look what can be done to firmly secure it, most likely however it will be just for display in which case it is just fine Condition wise, there will be old losses and repairs, I can see the footboard bolt covers are missing, I can have replacements made should the new owner wish, the bolts are all there, they are stiff to screw in, we have cleaned waxed and polished it from top to bottom, there will be age and use related patina marks consistent with a 320+ year old bed! The is one piece of timber missing on the headboard at the very top right, I can have the professionally repaired should the new owner wish for the cost price Dimensions Height:- 224cm Width:- 135cm Depth:- 200cm Side rail height:- 44cm Internal width:- 110cm a modern small double is 120cm Internal depth:- 174cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point, if you would like any additional or specific measurements please ask Any questions please feel free to ask before you bid Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
