Description:
This is a fine quality antique English Art Deco burr walnut bed, which fits a standard 4ft 6” wide mattress (UK double size), with two-tone burr walnut detail, circa 1930, in excellent original condition.  This bed fits a standard UK double size mattress (4ft 6” wide by 6ft 3” long), therefore can be used with a new modern mattress.  The tall headboard is decorated with stunning mirror-matched burr walnut timbers, bordered by darker moulded burr walnut timbers.  The bow shaped footboard matches the design of the headboard, with the exception of a lovely break-front central column.  The headboard and footboard boast superb burr walnut timbers, with excellent grain configuration and detail.  The headboard and footboard are united by the original Roberts & Co. of Willenhall steel angle irons, secured in place by four original threaded bots.  The Art Deco burr walnut bed comes with a set of sturdy wooden slats as seen in the pictures.

The Art Deco bed dismantles into two sections for easy transport and access into your house. This piece boasts classic art deco styling in the overall design of the clean lines, geometric patterns and the materials used.

The Art Deco burr walnut bed boasts a mellow golden walnut colour, having been cleaned and French polished by hand, to a professional standard in our workshop; along with the years of care and cleaning it has received.

The Art Deco bed would look superb in either a traditional or contemporary setting. This Art Deco walnut bed would certainly grace any home and is a great investment as it is extremely functional.  So don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.

History of Art Deco Furniture:
Art Deco, sometimes referred to as Deco, is a style of visual arts, architecture and design that first appeared in France just before World War I.  It influenced the design of buildings, furniture, jewellery, fashion, cars, cinemas, trains, ocean liners, and everyday objects such as radios and vacuum cleaners.  It took its name, short for Arts Décoratifs, from the Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes (International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts) held in Paris in 1925.  Art Deco combined modern styles with fine craftsmanship and rich materials. During its heyday, it represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Deco
