Condition
An excellent conserved condition. The mattress and associated box base have never been used however they share signs of having been moved and stored and would benefit from a clean. Mattress dimensions: 191 by 143cm (75 by 56in.) This bed is a good example of its type, they are very minor chips marks and scratches consistent with its age. There is rubbing to some carved detail as to be expected. Gallery inspection recommended. A great thing.
