Bed is in very good condition, there were alterations made for the previous owner which were: lengthening the side rails to make it longer, adding brass brackets to the corners of the canopy to compensate for the extra length, and adding a 20cm turned section in ebonised beech to each column to increase the height of the canopy. The slats are later replacements and some have old splits and cracks.
