Four Poster Contemporary Pencil Post Bed by Boyd & Allister

About the Item

This four poster contemporary pencil post bed was one of the original pieces that we made in our studio. Boyd & Allister got its start over 12 years ago making a line of beds for a local organic mattress shop. This design uses traditional joinery and clean lines, allowing the beauty of the wood and elegant shape to be its defining characteristics. The bed is pictured in cherry and walnut. We make this design in a variety of different domestic hardwoods. The rails between the headboard and footboard disassemble with a traditional stub tenon and bed bolt construction. There are detailed pictures of the cap, made to resemble a through tenon, on the front legs which pivots to reveal the bed bolt. Each bed comes with a set of 8 slats that are constructed with reinforced hardwood ribs that make the slats rigid and prevent flexing. The top of the post is 78” tall and the headboard is 17-18” tall (as it has a 1” curve cut on the top edge). The headboard is set for a 10” mattress to come to the bottom of the headboard (forgive the pictures as we only had a thin futon available for the photo shoot). It is not a problem to alter the height of the headboard to accommodate a thicker mattress. One of the pictures shows the addition of top stretchers on the head and footboards for a canopy which can be included for an upcharge. There is 16” below the rails which puts the top of a 10” mattress approximately 28” from the floor. Finish is a natural oil and wax.

Antique Four Poster Bed
Located in Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire
A fine late 18th Century large Dutch four-poster bed with exceptional posts and ealy 19th century Italian carved giltwood swans. The posts with well carved elements: neoclassical urns, capitals, carved turnings and vase sections; their most attractive part is the boxwood and mahogany lined inlay which we haven't seen on English 18th beds. In addition, unusally, the rails are designed to be seen and made in mahogany and framed with carved and plain astragal beads. Good sturdy construction, fixed together with steel bolts and will dismantle for shipping. Needs new drapery hangings and the white fabric around the end posts & headboard should be cleaned or replaced. For the new mattress, we would recommend a box spring mattress with a well (height is saved with part of the box mattress fitting between the rails) and a second mattress on top. But you could also fit lathes and just have the top mattress with cut out corners to fit around the posts: norris bedding custom make such mattresses. This bed originally had fabric around the top but for an additional cost we could make a wooden cornice...
