A pair of George III mahogany bed posts circa 1800

both cut down and with later convex caps and now united by an arched panelled headboard together with a pair of associated side rails and foot board supported by two mahogany blocks, incorporating elements from a larger bed

This lot has been made from an impressive tail board which has been cut in an attempt to make a complete bed. In their present form the components do not fit together to form a usable bed. That said, all of the pieces are in good condition with some indentations, marks and scratches.
