About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this stunning and very rare circa 1810-1820 Regency Turkey work day bed with original period upholstery A very rare well made and decorative piece of furniture. Turkey work is a form of knotted embroidery practiced in England from the 16th century to the mid-18th century, but especially in the 17th century. Used for upholstery and table covers, it was worked in imitation of Turkish carpets, which are known from paintings to have been imported to England from the 16th century. The designs were usually of geometrically stylized flowers. A document from the reign of William III (1689–1702) gives the number of Turkey-work chairs made per annum as 60,000. Because so few examples have survived in England, while examples have been found abroad for example, in Italy it may be deduced that Turkey work was an export item. As you can see the upholstery is period and distressed, it can be restored as there is limited missing fabric, its mainly just straight line splits, I have a pair of cushions which can be used for donor fabric if needed The model of the seat itself is sublime, it is a bluster arm daybed, very deep for its type so it’s a two person daybed, the legs are naturally solid to the frame, ebonised black as was the fashion Dimensions Height 66cm Width 178.5cm Depth 91cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point This item is available for collection from our Wimbledon warehouses 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.
