$2600 Item # Bed 0826-3

Height of Headboard 48"

Height of Footboard 37"

Width of body 66"

I wish you could pick these beds up. They are made of dense tightly grained pine and are surprisingly heavy. Danish c.1860. Turnip feet and beautiful moldings around the bed panels. The dark blotches you see are merely water stains that need to be washed out. We will take care of this under restoration.

Originally these were intended for narrow mattresses typical of Europe. It was a very practical solution to flexible sleeping arrangements. The beds were made to either stand alone or to be pushed flush together for one big bed. We will permanently affix the headboards and footboards and reconstruct the siderails for an American queen size bed. Excellent condition although unrestored as yet.

Price includes slats, full restoration. Price includes delivery in our delivery district or a $200 discount to be used towards trucking or for pickup.

General Information

Mattress sizes....

We custom resize each bed to standard contemporary sizes, but on our last delivery we measured the brand new twin mattress and instead of 39 x 75 which has been the norm for many years, this mattress was 37 1/4 wide x 74 long. In addition instead of 8 inches of thickness for the mattress, this particular twin mattress was 11 inches thick. The queen mattress on our last delivery was also smaller and fatter than usual. If you order one of these smaller thicker mattresses, please let us know! Otherwise we will size twin to 39 x 75 x 8. Our usual queen measures 60 x 80 x 8.

 

SLATS...are included for queen and twin beds unless you tell us you do not need them.

 

 

Assembly instructions for queen beds.

 

Siderails..

We have the originals, but do not trust them any more so we generally replace them with yellow pine rails which we stain to match our beds. If your bed style had a sleigh rail side (to keep children from rolling out we presume), it can be put onto the bed if it has not been resized as yet for an hour's labor charge. If you wish to add these stylish sleigh edges to your bed we can do it for you even if it was not on your original bed for a minimal labor and material charge as long as the bed has not been resized.

This is how the new yellow pine side rails look BEFORE finishing. We will stain and wax to match best possible the original old wood foot and head boards.

Here you can see the little ledge we put inside, then the slats go on and then your mattress.

 

 

Here is an example of the new yellow pine straight side rails that we put on many twin beds and on all king and queen size beds.

 

 

Pattern One

16 1/2 inches deep

 

Pattern Two (on the left)

12 inches deep

 

 


Pattern Three

16 inches deep

Pattern Three made up of yellow pine and waxed with mahogany wax...

 

Here is a bed with original side rails....

 
   

We added sleigh bed rails and converted this bed to queen size...more info on bed conversions on this page.

A little history...

The earlier beds are always two Scandinavian narrow twin sizes that were cleverly made to be pushed together or separated as required. We resize them to a standard American queen size mattress and affix them permanently together. The styles are a bit more robust, often with carving and heavier ornamentation. This can be a real advantage if you have a narrow stairway. These beds are easily assembled on site.

 
Delivery...we deliver in a huge area, but if we can't deliver ourselves, we do discount the beds for pick up or for trucking.  
 

 

 

Our shop always carries a wonderful selection of bedside stands, dressers and armoires to coordinate with our beds.
