Iron Bed 1
OFFERS : UNIQUE RECLAIMED STEEL ART BED.
A unique original steel bed frame designed by award winning UK artist Bruce (Doktor A) Whistlecraft.
Created in 2001.

This is a singular art object. An individual and utterly original construction the likes of which you will not see again.
Inspired by early avant garde cinema this huge steel bed frame is an architectural delight which would be at home in the trendiest of boutique hotels.

It is an art piece in furniture form.

Hand made by English craftsmen this is a piece of furniture built to last.

Solid welded intersecting 1" diameter reclaimed steel bars make up the head and foot boards between monolithic 3.5" diameter tube posts.
Each of differing lengths and differing angles.
The posts each have a platform set inside a few inches down from the opening to allow the insertion of up-lighters if desired. These would form a virtual four-poster bed structure in light.
The surface is a hand finished mottled brown oxidised tone with a clear matt lacquered topcoat for protection.

The bed breaks down to four parts. The head board, foot board and two side angle irons. All fixes together with bolts (supplied) and the mattress is supported on basic wooden cross boards. The base level is lower to the floor than a regular bed to accentuate the massiveness of the structure. The bottom of the mattress sits just 18cm ( 7") above the floor.
Built to take a standard double bed mattress.

Size

Length : 212cm.
Headboard width : 217cm at widest point.
Headboard height :173cm.
Footboard width : 205cm at widest point.
Footboard height : 136cm.


£900.
(Please contact me if you wish to make me another offer.)


**SHIPPING**
Would require either collecting in person. Or arranging a courier to collect.
( Abbey Antiques are reliable and can deliver across Europe. With Abby the cost for the bed would be £94 ).
Would fit in a transit van but would need a couple of men to help move it from its present first floor position.
It is heavy but two men can move it safely.
I can arrange a courier if you require.

International buyers : The bed could be freight sea shipped door to door by various shipping companies for under £1000 to most destinations on the planet. Please contact me if you want a quote.
