Description
A wonderful pair of French upholstered single beds in the style of Louis XV with corbeille ended footboards and matching upholstery. The frames are made from beech which is a darker oak colour and are in a very good condition. The beds have matching floral carved decoration to the centre of the headboard, footboard and two side rails. Standing on flower adorned cabriole legs with scrolled toes, two legs to the headboard and four to the footboard. The beds are very sturdy when assembled and retain their original long fixing bolts, one to each corner, making them easy to assemble.
There are no rips or tears to the upholstery but the bed on the left does have some stains to the headboard, this possibly could be removed with a suitable cleaning product. On the same headboard you can see the lighter, previously used, old upholstery showing through.
The beds will accomadate a standard single mattress. Please note that the new metal framed slatted bed base as shown in photo is not included in the sale but are available from retail outlets in France for £55 each.
These beds are being offered for sale with NO RESERVE, many items I list DO SELL for the starting bid. Good luck with your bidding.

About me
I purchased my first item of French furniture for re-sale in 1995 in Brittany. Over the past 12 years I have travelled many kilometres across the French countryside sourcing items for my Antique shop in Cornwall and supplying the trade with quality items, shipping as far afield as Hong Kong and Australia. Over 2 years ago, my family and I exchanged the rugged Cornish coastline for the calmer Cognac environs. We continue in giving customer satisfaction with accurate descriptions.
