{"product_id":"early-19th-century-mahogany-four-poster-canopy-bed","title":"Early 19th Century Mahogany Four Poster Canopy Bed","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn imposing four-poster canopy bed of rare architectural form, dating to the Regency period and constructed in solid mahogany and well-figured mahogany veneers. Unusually wide for the period. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease be advised that the listed price reflects the bed frame alone and does not include bedding, a mattress, mattress base, or any additional accessories. The bed will need to be assembled as it will be dismantled for shipping. Detailed instructions will be provided. Customisation is available on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bed is distinguished above all by its boldly moulded cornice, deep and projecting, which lends the whole a genuinely architectural presence often found in the interiors of the period and in their grand furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe canopy is carried on four substantial supports, powerfully proportioned in the manner of the better cabinetmakers of the date. The two rear posts are of solid mahogany, while the front pair take the form of bold turned Doric columns veneered in mahogany over their full length—no small feat of craftsmanship, and a mark of the maker’s ambition. The original mahogany curtain rings survive throughout, a detail rarely found intact, and the frame itself is original, undisturbed and sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets the piece apart is its scale. Standing at approximately 267cm, it is unusually tall and carries itself with real grandeur; a bed conceived for a room of proportion. It accommodates a mattress of up to 180 cm \/ 6ft with a custom made mattress base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rare survival in original condition, and a commanding centrepiece for an appropriate setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: 105\" \/ 267 cm\u003cbr\u003eWidth (at cornice): 81\" \/ 206 cm\u003cbr\u003eLength (at cornice): 93.5\" \/ 236 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWidth (of the frame outside): 66.75” \/ 170 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength (of the frame outside): 86” \/ 218 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight (to the top of the base\/frame): 17” \/ 43 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peacock's Finest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56665696371014,"sku":null,"price":19500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/3138\/0550\/files\/FullSizeRender_6aba5d2e-2648-4b07-be10-7e6fbbbd9aa0.jpg?v=1780051552","url":"https:\/\/peacocksfinest.com\/products\/early-19th-century-mahogany-four-poster-canopy-bed","provider":"Peacock's Finest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
