Price to include an upholstered base ready for a mattress.

The colour in this bed is just delicious - rich honey. Elm has quite an open grain. It is to my mind more of a ‘country’ bed; easy, unsophisticated, warm, glowing. It is a lovely wood. The picture here was taken just after we bought it and the white on the inside panel is of no consequence; it will clean and polish up beautifully.

This style is known as Lit à Rouleau, because the ends have plain rolled tops. It has, as is usual for the period, one decorative side that faces the room and a completely plain side that goes against the wall.

Dimensions: Widest outside 4’4. Longest outside 6’9. Height 3’5. Inside measurements 3’10 X 6’2.
It will make a very generous single bed or it will do at a pinch for 2 people for cosy overnighting. (I know because we use one !)
