1974.19.4c. 1890Cast iron, brass1,930 × 1,370 mm assembled
Cast locally to a pattern that was sold everywhere, with brass finials on the four posts and a mosquito-net frame that bolts on above. Three of the four finials are original.
It came to us dismantled and it stays dismantled in bay 1, which is the only way six feet of bedstead fits on a shelf. We lay it out on the table if you ask.
