Early 19th Century High Carved Mahogany 4 Post Bed Ca. 1810-1820. Custom Mat

  

Back in the 1980's, I wanted an antique 4 poster bed; mentioned that to a Jaguar customer who was a respected antique dealer. He traded me this for restoration work on his Jaguar. Posts are 88 inches tall, solid carved mahogany. He pointed out It was missing a headboard and had originally been narrow but a new wider frame had been well and professionally made. It had been made slightly larger than a modern queen size, but had no mattress.

I had Zeno Mattress, who builds custom mattresses for million dollar yachts, in Fort Lauderdale, custom make it, extra firm; probably about 1990. Mattress is as comfortable today as when it was new. Wood frame pieces are all numbered, they bolt together after aligning the numbers. I have other marine and 19th century antiques. You may inquire 1954JAGUARS, or 1954JAGPART.

Cost given is to Miami or Fort Lauderdale for those who have an agent there, NOT out of the US. Thank you, James Dean of Sebring Florida. May be picked up in Sebring, or Venus, Florida, 30 miles South.
