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

    • There’s got to be something else happening in ED to stop this now very dull thread. 
    • I think the East Dulwich one was one of the first ones after Brixton? It was very exciting when it first opened here, but yes they are all over the place now.
    • I see some possibly overloaded grandparents, with mobility issues, trying to help their overloaded daughter. They put some feelers out in anticipation of having to look after their grandson who, it seems, it extraordinarily smart and requires extra stimulation. A big ask all round. That they weren't yet aware of exact dates hardly warrants your complaints of time-wasting. 
    • The shops selling gifts, interior stuff and clothes all sell different gifts, interiors stuff and clothes. They don't all have identical items, which would be ridiculous. It's a  completely different situation. The coffee shops and restaurants mostly also have different vibes, different food etc and cater to different tastes and pockets. The two empanada places have virtually identical displays of identical looking empanadas. I don't think anyone has suggested this move is "malicious" - that would make it even worse. Cheeky, yes, given the proximity to the first shop. I agree this is good advertising, though most people in ED probably don't look at the ED Forum (I stand to be corrected). Re the "organic grocer", if it's the one on the same side as Chango, yes their snacks are very tasty.  Unfortunately we were short changed there on several occasions when calling in late at night, and were once asked  a ridiculous price for a few items (with no price tickets on the snacks) so we don't go there any more. Hopefully these were all genuine mistakes, and hopefully things have improved since their refurb.
