Antique Louis XV Style ca 1840 Folding Day Bed - Local Pickup Only

Description

This is an absolutely wonderful antique day bed. And if folds for easy storage.

It's made of cast iron and is also known as a campaign bed because it could be taken on campaigns (I pity the horse who had to haul it!!. It came from a military college in Montreal and these beds were all sold off when the college closed.

It is in the Louis XV style, manufactured around 1840, possibly by Geo. W. Smith factory in Providence, Rhode Island. Their 1840 catalogue shows a very similar bed.

This daybed is on casters that make it a breeze to move around. The mattress (100% cotton) and two bolsters (in foam) are upholstered in vintage dark gray and white striped cotton and are included.

If you are a photographer or artist, this daybed has endless staging possibilities.

Please note this item is for Local Pickup ONLY. I am located in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. I've never shipped anything this large and heavy and would imagine it'd have to go freight and that would be rather expensive. If you are truly interested in it and are willing to pay, please make shipping arrangements on your end.

Again I stress that this is pick up only unless you can make arrangements yourself. I just don't want someone to see the shipping cost as free and think I'm going to pay to send it to you. Etsy doesn't have a "pick up only" option so I left it blank.
