Lovely vintage/antique French bateau lit in solid cherrywood


Recommended Posts

Lovely vintage/antique French bateau lit in solid cherrywood with original decorative edging and metal bolts. Estimated to date from the early 20th century and most likely made locally to St Savinien, a small village in the Charente Maritime where we bought it from the original owner when buying an old Charentaise farmhouse in 2003. The wood has a warm patina with some age marks and old (treated) woodworm holes which add to its character. It is a single bed perfect as a day bed or child's bed. We are sadly selling after returning to the UK to a smaller property.


Dimensions

104cm high at each end

External L203cm, W98cm

Internal L190cm, W90cm


Pine support boards included (please note these are individual and untreated) Mattress is not included.

Thanks Carolyn. And I hope you're not offended, but others I've been looking at, and are renovated, sell for less, like this example http://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/grand-auctions/catalogue-id-srgran10007/lot-75cd7f61-602d-4711-81bc-a442018491a9


Would you consider ?300 please? I think that's the maximum I would be prepared to pay.


Regards


Catherine

Thanks and sorry to be persistent but I've looked at various antique sites, and on eBay, to make comparisons and there are some really nice examples which are considerably cheaper http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/French-Antique-Wooden-Bed-/252231776586?hash=item3aba2f794a:g:BHMAAOSwLzdWTbu2 I do like yours and because it's local and convenient I would be willing to pay ?320 but I am afraid I can't justify more than that. Please let me know if that would be acceptable.

Hi Catherine


Thanks for the increased offer - you have a deal. I am around this afternoon and all day tomorrow after 11. If you want to pay by bank transfer i can email you details otherwise cash on collection.

Best wishes

Carolyn

    • Some of the replies to you have been unnecessarily rude. It's not unreasonable for wheelchair users and everyone else to expect to have access to the footpath. But instead of criticising the council for not already knowing about the problem and casting pre-emptive aspersions on their responsiveness...maybe you should actually take the step of letting the Council know about your concern? When I had a similar-ish complaint, the Highways team responded very quickly.
    • "The tables outside the Blue Brick were in fact mostly within the cafe's curtilage." All the tables were placed on the pavement, not part of the cafe's curtillage any more than the pavement outside my house is a part of my curtillage. There are no signs of demarcation like studs or different paving which is usual. I believe though many cafe's were awarded licenses by the council during the pandemic allowing tables to be placed on the pavement. "Yes, Jenijenjen [your 'real name', obvs], I have posted over a number of years. Say what you intend clearly about these previous posts, so that other readers can judge, rather than alluding to them obscurely as if they somehow invalidate the matter I raise here. Good grief."  Blimey, you're reading something into this post that really isn't there and was not intended.  No hidden agenda, merely an observation.    
    • They do that in Chelsea. Bars and cafes can buy the parking space in front of their shop to put tables in.  We should be more like Chelsea.
    • I like seeing everyone out enjoying themselves.  I'd prefer Lordship Lane to be car free and all the cafes etc have tables outside.
