An impressive sissoo wood Anglo-Indian four poster bed
About the Item
An impressive sissoo wood Anglo-Indian four poster bed, of rectangular form with a central openwork cresting, and splat, showing a naïve carving of the Coat of Arms of Great Britain, the lion and unicorn holding flags and flanking a Royal crown above an oval, all within floral scrolls and leaves, with turned spindles in the foot and head boards and barley twist bed posts, with the original steel winding key. English, circa 1840.
Footnote: The style of these bed dates from 1840 until 1947 (until Indian Independence). They were constructed for the British military and their families in India and designed to collapse and be transported easily whilst on campaign or to their summerhouses in the hills. The size, style and quality of the bed depicted the status of the occupier and were made from the finest wood usually mahogany, teak or sissoo wood (a member of the rosewood family). Teak and sissoo wood were used extensively because they only expanded and contracted minimally in extreme temperature and humidity. In addition, they were resistant to woodworm, termites, and the occasional splash of seawater.

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...
